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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthFeb 02, 2023This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 772 of the MSH6 protein. A different variant affecting the same position c.2314C>T (p.Arg772Trp) is considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 89267). Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual with multiple adenomas who also had a MSH6 nonsense mutation (PMID: 25985138). This variant has been identified in 5/282522 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different variant affecting the same codon, c.2314C>T (p.Arg772Trp), is considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 89267), suggesting that this position is important for the protein function. 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 testingAmbry GeneticsMar 08, 2023The p.R772Q variant (also known as c.2315G>A), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2315. The arginine at codon 772 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been detected in conjunction with a pathogenic MSH6 mutation (phase unknown) in an individual with an unspecified number of multiple adenomas (Taylor JC et al. Nat Genet. 2015 Jul;47(7):717-26). In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Lynch syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingUniversity of Washington Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of WashingtonMay 01, 2018MSH6 NM_000179.2:c.2315G>A has a 63.2% probability of pathogenicity based on combining prior probability from public data with a likelihood ratio of 0.20 to 1, generated from evidence of seeing this as a somatic mutation in a tumor without loss of heterozygosity at the MSH6 locus. See Shirts et al 2018, PMID 29887214. -
not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxSep 26, 2019Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; Observed as a germline variant in an individual with multiple adenomas who also carried an MSH6 nonsense variant (phase not determined), and as a somatic variant in a colon tumor exhibiting microsatellite instability in an individual with a germline MSH6 variant on the opposite allele (Ohmiya 2001, Taylor 2015); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 14974087, 18176851, 28514183, 11470537, 23621914, 25985138, 25307252, 8176851, 29548617, 24323032, 29887214) -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 08, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 772 of the MSH6 protein (p.Arg772Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs63750725, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal adenomas who also had a pathogenic MSH6 variant (PMID: 25985138). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 237155). 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.Arg772 amino acid residue in MSH6. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 14974087, 18176851, 23621914, 24323032, 25307252, 26333163, 28449805, 28514183; 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 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. -
