Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000179.3(MSH6):​c.3804dup​(p.Cys1269MetfsTer6) variant causes a frameshift, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A1268A) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Jan 15, 2020	This variant is located in the MSH6 protein. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. This variant has not been identified 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jan 19, 2022	The c.3804dupA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the MSH6 gene, results from a duplication of A at nucleotide position 3804, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.C1269Mfs*6). This duplication has been reported in six Norwegian Lynch syndrome families and in a patient diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and endometrial cancer with a family history of colon and breast cancers (Sjursen W et al. J. Med. Genet. 2010 Sep; 47(9):579-85; Hu C et al. Cancer Epidemiol. Biomarkers Prev. 2016 Jan;25:207-11). This alteration has also been identified in an individual meeting Amsterdam criteria (Stormorken AT et al. J Clin Oncol, 2005 Jul;23:4705-12). 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. -

This duplication of one nucleotide in MSH6 is denoted c.3804dupA at the cDNA level and p.Cys1269MetfsX6 (C1269MfsX6) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the base that is duplicated in braces, is agGC[A]TGCA, where the capital letters are exonic and the lower case are intronic. The duplication causes a frameshift which changes a Cysteine to a Methionine at codon 1269, and creates a premature stop codon at position 6 of the new reading frame. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. MSH6 c.3804dupA has been identified in individuals with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC) (Stormorken 2005, Sjursen 2010). We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys1269Metfs*6) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 20587412, 26483394). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89469). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
