Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000179.3(MSH6):c.2931C>A(p.Tyr977*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000699 in 1,430,478 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Y977Y) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. While this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature, a different variant (c.2931C>G) resulting in the same protein effect has been reported in many individuals affected with Lynch syndrome-related cancers (PMID: 14961575, 16283884, 25142776, 25318681, 27601186, 28944238, 31118792). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of MSH6 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
The p.Y977* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2931C>A), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 2931. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. An alteration resulting in the same stop codon, p.Y977* (c.2931C>G), has been reported in two large unrelated Swedish HNPCC families in which the probands had a personal history of both colon and endometrial cancers. Authors reported this alteration as a Swedish founder mutation (Cederquist K et al. Int J Cancer. 2004 Apr 10;109(3):370-6; Cederquist K et al. Clin Genet. 2005 Dec;68(6):533-41). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
Lynch syndrome 5 Pathogenic:1
This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a termination codon and is predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr977*) in the MSH6 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MSH6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18269114, 24362816). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 14961575, 25142776, 27601186, 28944238). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 483782). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
