Genes affected

MSH6 (HGNC:7329): (mutS homolog 6) This gene encodes a member of the DNA mismatch repair MutS family. In E. coli, the MutS protein helps in the recognition of mismatched nucleotides prior to their repair. A highly conserved region of approximately 150 aa, called the Walker-A adenine nucleotide binding motif, exists in MutS homologs. The encoded protein heterodimerizes with MSH2 to form a mismatch recognition complex that functions as a bidirectional molecular switch that exchanges ADP and ATP as DNA mismatches are bound and dissociated. Mutations in this gene may be associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer, colorectal cancer, and endometrial cancer. Transcripts variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

Variant summary: MSH6 c.102C>A alters a non-conserved nucleotide resulting in a synonymous change. 5/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00019 in 235824 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0026 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within East Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 18 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in MSH6 causing Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer phenotype (0.00014), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of East Asian origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.102C>A in individuals affected with Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation (2xbenign, 2xlikely benign). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

The MSH6 p.Ala34= variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the UMD-LSDB. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs201132087) as "With Likely benign allele", and in ClinVar (classified as benign by Invitae and one clinical laboratory; as likely benign by Ambry Genetics and Color).The variant was identified in control databases in 47 of 263666 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0002 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the East Asian population in 47 of 18376 chromosomes (freq: 0.003), while the variant was not observed in the African, Other, Latino, European, Ashkenazi Jewish, Finnish, and South Asian populations. The p.Ala34= variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. In addition, in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
