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]

Significance: Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity

Submissions summary: Uncertain:1 Benign:11

Revision: criteria provided, conflicting classifications

Submissions by phenotype

not specified Benign:4

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	May 18, 2015	This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Apr 23, 2018	Variant summary: MSH6 c.3354G>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 0.00043 in 246174 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0034 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 3 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within South Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 23.93 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in MSH6 causing Lynch Syndrome phenotype (0.00014), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of South Asian origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.3354G>A in individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome 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. All laboratories classified the variant as benign/likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genetic Services Laboratory, University of Chicago	Mar 06, 2018	- -
Benign, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System	-	The MSH6 p.Glu1118= variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the following databases: GeneInsight-COGR, Cosmic, MutDB, UMD-LSDB, Insight Colon Cancer Gene Variant Database, Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database, Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database, or Insight Hereditary Tumors Database. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs35642130) “With Likely benign allele”, ClinVar (classified benign by Invitae, GeneDx and likely benign by Ambry Genetics), Clinvitae (3x), and in control databases in 106 (3 homozygous) of 246174 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0004 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). Breakdown of the observations by population include European Non-Finnish in 1 of 111648 chromosomes (freq: 0.000009), and South Asian in 105 (3 homozygous) of 30782 chromosomes (freq: 0.003), while not observed in the African, Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, or European Finnish populations. The p.Glu1118= 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, with 2 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predicting a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Nov 07, 2016	- -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	May 01, 2015	This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Lynch syndrome 5 Uncertain:1 Benign:1

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Jan 13, 2018	This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
