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 c.3974_3976delAGA variant (also known as p.K1325del) is located in coding exon 9 of the MSH6 gene. This variant results from an in-frame AGA deletion at nucleotide positions 3974 to 3976. This results in the in-frame deletion of a lysine at codon 1325. This alteration has been reported in a homozygous state in an individual diagnosed with colorectal cancer at age 41 and lung cancer at age 44. This individual's family history is also significant for consanguineous parents and a sister who died of cholangiocarcinoma at 44 years old. Authors also question the relevance and penetrance of this alteration as no other cases of colorectal cancers had been described for this family (Carneiro da Silva F et al. PLoS ONE. 2015 Oct;10:e0139753). This alteration has also been reported in one family from a cohort of Latin American families suspected of Lynch syndrome (Rossi BM et al. BMC Cancer 2017 Sep;17(1):623), and in a cohort of 488 patients with stages I to III breast cancer who were tested with a 25-gene panel test (Tung N et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2016 May;34:1460-8). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Variant summary: MSH6 c.3974_3976delAGA (p.Lys1325del) results in an in-frame deletion that is predicted to remove one amino acid from the encoded protein. The variant was absent in 247744 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.3974_3976delAGA has been reported in the literature as a homozygous variant in a patient with colorectal cancer (CRC) who fulfilled the Bethesda guidelines, reporting consanguineous family, no family history of CRC and no associated features of CMMRD (Carneiro_2015, Rossi_2017), a patient with suspected Lynch syndrome (LS), MSI-High tumor, tumor with LOH for MSH2, first degree relatives with Lynch syndrome associated tumors (Jansen_2016), and a patient with breast cancer undergoing multigene cancer panel testing (Tung_2016). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Lynch Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance. Some submitters cite overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The MSH6 p.Lys1325del variant was identified in 2 of 1208 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.002) from Brazilian and American individuals or families with suspected Lynch syndrome or breast cancer (Carneiro da Silva_2015_26437257, Tung_2016_26976419). One proband with suspected Lynch Syndrome was homozygous for the variant (parents had a consanguineous marriage), developed CRC at 41 years and had a sister diagnosed with colangiocarcinoma (Carneiro da Silva_2015_26437257). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs587779300) “With Uncertain significance allele”, ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance, reviewed by an expert panel (2013); submitters: InSIGHT, Ambry Genetics, Counsyl, Invitae, GeneDx, Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano), Clinvitae (4x), Cosmic (1x in a carcinoma of the female genital tract), Insight Colon Cancer Gene Variant Database (1x as Class 3), Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database, and Insight Hereditary Tumors Database (1x); and was not identified in GeneInsight-COGR, MutDB, UMD-LSDB, Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database, the 1000 Genomes Project, the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project, the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). This variant is an in-frame deletion resulting in the removal of a lysine (lys) residue at codon 1325; the impact of this alteration on MSH6 protein function is not known. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. 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. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The MSH6 c.3974_3976delAGA variant is predicted to result in an in-frame deletion (p.Lys1325del). This variant has been reported in the homozygous state in an individual who developed colon cancer (Carneiro da Silva et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26437257). This variant has also been reported in a family and an unrelated individual with suspected Lynch syndrome (Rossi et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28874130; Jansen et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27300758) and in an individual with breast cancer (Table A2, Tung et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26976419). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. This variant has been interpreted as uncertain in the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/89494). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
