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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 09, 2024The c.4077_4080dupATTA variant (also known as p.*1361Iext*3), located in coding exon 10 of the MSH6 gene, results from a duplication of ATTA at nucleotide position 4077. This alteration disrupts the stop codon of the MSH6 gene and is predicted to preserve the native sequence while resulting in the elongation of the protein by 3 amino acids. The exact functional effect of the additional amino acids is unknown. This alteration has been reported in an individual with early-onset breast cancer (Nguyen-Dumont T et al. Fam Cancer, 2020 Jul;19:197-202). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthMay 25, 2023This variant inserts 4 nucleotides in exon 10 of the MSH6 gene, causing a frameshift in the last exon and addition of 3 new amino acids before introducing a stop codon. This results in a protein product that is 3 amino acids longer than the normal protein product. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 32060697). This variant has been identified in 5/251018 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesNov 20, 2023The MSH6 c.4077_4080dupATTA variant is predicted to result in extension of the open reading frame (p.*1361Ileext*3). This variant results in the loss of the stop codon and a C-terminal extension of 3 amino acids. This variant was reported in an individual with breast cancer (Nguyen-Dumont et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32060697). This variant is reported in 0.0035% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. It is interpreted as uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/142563/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 04, 2023This sequence change disrupts the translational stop signal of the MSH6 mRNA. It is expected to extend the length of the MSH6 protein by 3 additional amino acid residues. This variant is present in population databases (rs575068534, gnomAD 0.003%). This protein extension has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 32060697). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142563). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
