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]

The MSH6 p.Glu1335Ala variant was identified in 3 of 680 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.004) from individuals or families with Lynch syndrome, astrocytoma, and breast or ovarian cancer and was not identified in 694 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Perez-Cabornero 2013, Rodriguez-Hernandez 2013, Cock-Rada 2018). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs564434147 as "With Uncertain significance allele"), ClinVar (6x as uncertain significance by Ambry Genetics, Invitae, Counsyl, GeneDx, Color Genomics, and EGL Genetic), and UMD-LSDB (1x as unclassified variant). The variant was not identified in the COGR, Cosmic, MutDB, Zhejiang University Database, Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database, or Insight Hereditary Tumors databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 18 of 237668 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00008 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: Latino in 7 of 32242 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), European Non-Finnish in 2 of 108812 chromosomes (freq: 0.00008), and South Asian in 9 of 28764 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003); it was not observed in the African, Other, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, or Finnish populations. The p.Glu1335 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) 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. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

The MSH6 c.4004A>C (p.Glu1335Ala) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 28528518 (2017), 32547938 (2020), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/)), colorectal cancer (PMID: 23523604 (2013)), astrocytoma (PMID: 24073290 (2013)), and suspected of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 31391288 (2020)). This variant has also been identified in reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 35534704 (2022), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00031 (9/28634 chromosomes in South Asian subpopulation (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with alanine at codon 1335 of the MSH6 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with colorectal cancer (PMID: 23523604), astrocytoma (PMID: 24073290), breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 28528518, 32547938) or suspected of having Lynch syndrome (PMID: 31391288). In a large breast cancer case control study, this variant was reported in 2/60466 cases and 4/53461 unaffected controls (PMID: 33471991). This variant has also been identified in 22/271900 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

BP4, BP5 c.4004A>C, located in exon 10 of the MSH6 gene, is predicted to result in the substitution of glutamic acid by alanine at codon 1335, p.(Glu1335Ala). This variant is found in 10/257458 alleles at a frequency of 0.008% in the gnomAD v2.1.1 database, non-cancer dataset. Computational tools for this variant suggest no significant impact on splicing and does not affect the protein function (MAPP+PolyPhen-2 prior probability for pathogenicity: 0.10) (BP4). To our knowledge, well-established functional studies have not been reported for this variant. It has been reported in at least 3 colorectal cancer samples with microsatellite stability and/or no consistent loss of MMR protein expression (PMID:23523604 and internal data). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database (10x uncertain significance, 2x likely benign) and in LOVD (classified 1x uncertain significance, 1x likely benign), but it has not been classified by InSiGHT. Based on currently available information, the variant c.4004A>C should be considered a likely benign variant. -

The p.E1335A variant (also known as c.4004A>C), located in coding exon 10 of the MSH6 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 4004. The glutamic acid at codon 1335 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant was reported in one family that met Amsterdam criteria and segregated with disease. The proband was diagnosed with colon cancer at age 42; however, tumor testing showed wild-type BRAF analysis, microsatellite stability, and normal IHC staining (P&eacute;rez-Cabornero L et al. J Mol Diagn. 2013 May;15(3):380-90). This alteration has also been reported as a variant of unknown significance, detected in a low-grade malignant astrocytoma that showed microsatellite stability and loss of staining for MLH1, MSH2, and MSH6 on IHC (Rodr&iacute;guez-Hern&aacute;ndez I et al. PLoS One. 2013 Sep 20;8(9):e76401). This alteration has been identified in individuals diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Bonache S et al. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol, 2018 Dec;144:2495-2513; Cock-Rada AM et al. Fam Cancer, 2018 Jan;17:23-30; Nikitin AG et al. Front Oncol. 2020 May;10:666; Lerner-Ellis J et al. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol, 2021 Mar;147:871-879). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence for this variant is conflicting at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The MSH6 c.4004A>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Glu1335Ala. This variant has been reported in individuals with a history of Lynch syndrome, astrocytoma, and breast and/or ovarian cancer (Rodríguez-Hernández et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 24073290; Pérez-Cabornero et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23523604; Cock-Rada et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 28528518). This variant is reported in 0.031% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations regarding its pathogenicity in ClinVar, ranging from likely benign to uncertain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/141327/?new_evidence=true). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Variant summary: MSH6 c.4004A>C (p.Glu1335Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. Consensus agreement among computation 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 5.2e-05 in 1590584 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00036 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within South Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 2.5 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in MSH6 causing Lynch syndrome (0.00014), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of South Asian origin. c.4004A>C has been reported in the literature in individuals undergoing multigene panel testing for hereditary cancers such as Lynch, low grade astrocytoma and breast (example, Perez-Cabornero_2013, Rodriguez-Hernandez_2013, Cock-Rada_2017, Nikitin_2020). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Lynch Syndrome. At-least three co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported in the literature and observed at our laboratory (BRCA1 c.5266dupC, p.Gln1756Profs, Nikitin_2020; PALB2 c.1317delG, p.Phe440fs, internal testing; CDH1 c.537delA , p.Lys179Asnfs*36, internal testing), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. A study that computed a tumor characteristic likelihood ratio (TCLR) in combination with in-silico predictors and multifactorial variant prediction (MVP) model including allele frequency, co-occurrence, co-segregation, clinical and family history information classified this variant a "likely benign". The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30306255, 28528518, 31391288, 32547938, 23523604, 24073290). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141327). Some submitters cite overlapping but not identical evidences utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
