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.

MSH6 links:

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 MSH6 c.1661G>A (p.Arg554His) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 35449176 (2022), 35264596 (2022), 32658311 (2021), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/MSH6)). This variant has also been identified in reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 36243179 (2022), 34326862 (2021), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/MSH6)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00016 (5/30616 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant.

The p.R554H variant (also known as c.1661G>A), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1661. The arginine at codon 554 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was detected in a cohort of 1663 individuals diagnosed with breast cancer (Guindalini RSC et al. Sci Rep, 2022 Mar;12:4190). This alteration was also seen in 1/732 breast cancer patients, 0/189 colorectal cancer patients and 0/490 cancer-free elderly controls in a Turkish population (Akcay IM et al. Int J Cancer, 2021 Jan;148:285-295). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with histidine at codon 554 of the MSH6 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MSH6-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 10/250818 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.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method:clinical testing

DNA sequence analysis of the MSH6 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.1661G>A, in exon 4 that results in an amino acid change, p.Arg554His. This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in individuals with MSH6-related disorders. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.016% in the South Asian subpopulation (dbSNP rs730881791). The p.Arg554His change affects a moderately conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the MSH6 protein that is known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Arg554His substitution. Due to insufficient evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Arg554His change remains unknown at this time.
