Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5
The NM_000179.3(MSH6):c.2341C>A(p.Pro781Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P781L) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1
This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 781 of the MSH6 protein (p.Pro781Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MSH6-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182635). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MSH6 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Pro781 amino acid residue in MSH6. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 27273229; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
The p.P781T variant (also known as c.2341C>A), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 2341. The proline at codon 781 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been identified in a proband whose Lynch syndrome-associated tumor demonstrated loss of MSH6 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) (Ambry internal data, external communication). Another variant at the same codon, p.Pro781Leu (c.2342C>T), has been detected in probands whose tumors showed high microsatellite instability and/or loss of MSH6 expression by IHC and one had a family history that met Amsterdam II criteria (Tsai GJ et al. Genet Med, 2019 Jun;21:1435-1442; Ambry internal data). Based on internal structural analysis, P781T is moderately destabilizing to the local structure and is deleterious (Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
not specified Uncertain:1
This variant is denoted MSH6 c.2341C>A at the cDNA level, p.Pro781Thr (P781T) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Proline to a Threonine (CCA>ACA) in exon 4. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as either a mutation or a benign polymorphism. MSH6 Pro781Thr was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Proline and Threonine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution and is likely to affect protein integrity. MSH6 Pro781Thr alters a position that is highly conserved across species and is located in the Domain III of the MutS domain (Terui 2013). In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether MSH6 Pro781Thr is a pathogenic mutation or a benign variant. The variant is found in ENDOM-HEREDIC panel(s). -
