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.

FBXO11 (HGNC:13590): (F-box protein 11) This gene encodes a member of the F-box protein family which is characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box. The F-box proteins constitute one of the four subunits of ubiquitin protein ligase complex called SCFs (SKP1-cullin-F-box), which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. The F-box proteins are divided into 3 classes: Fbws containing WD-40 domains, Fbls containing leucine-rich repeats, and Fbxs containing either different protein-protein interaction modules or no recognizable motifs. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Fbxs class. It can function as an arginine methyltransferase that symmetrically dimethylates arginine residues, and it acts as an adaptor protein to mediate the neddylation of p53, which leads to the suppression of p53 function. This gene is known to be down-regulated in melanocytes from patients with vitiligo, a skin disorder that results in depigmentation. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with chronic otitis media with effusion and recurrent otitis media (COME/ROM), a hearing loss disorder, and the knockout of the homologous mouse gene results in the deaf mouse mutant Jeff (Jf), a single gene model of otitis media. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]

This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals and families affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 17718861, 25782445, 28449805, 28874130). Tumor data from an affected individual demonstrated microsatellite instability and loss of MSH6 protein via immunohistochemistry (PMID: 17718861). This variant has been identified in 1/248958 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of MSH6 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.

The c.3119_3120delTT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 3119 to 3120, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.F1040*). This mutation has been reported in an individual diagnosed with duodenal cancer at age 57 and whose tumor showed microsatellite instability and absent MSH6 on IHC (Roncari B et al. Clin Genet. 2007 Sep;72(3):230-7). This mutation has also been subsequently identified in several Hispanic individuals with Lynch syndrome (Cruz-Correa M et al. Fam. Cancer 2015 Sep;14:415-25; Sunga AY et al. Cancer Genet 2017 Apr;212-213:1-7; Rossi BM et al. BMC Cancer 2017 Sep;17:623). Of note, this alteration is also designated as p.Phe1040Ter, c.3119delTT, and p.Phe1040Terfs in published literature. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

Variant summary: MSH6 c.3119_3120delTT (p.Phe1040X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 248958 control chromosomes. c.3119_3120delTT has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer and lung cancer (Sun_2019, Cruz-Correa_2015, Roncari_2007). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe1040*) in the MSH6 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MSH6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18269114, 24362816). This variant is present in population databases (rs267608042, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MSH6-related conditions. Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this MSH6 variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 1,370,736 individuals referred to our laboratory for MSH6 testing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89339). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
