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]

Lynch syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingUniversity of Washington Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of WashingtonMay 01, 2018MSH6 NM_000179.2:c.2195G>A has a 34.3% probability of pathogenicity based on combining prior probability from public data with a likelihood ratio of 0.16 to 1, generated from evidence of seeing this as a somatic mutation in a tumor with loss of heterozygosity at the MSH6 locus. See Shirts et al 2018, PMID 29887214. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthNov 20, 2023This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 732 of the MSH6 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual in a cohort of Norwegian individuals affected with familial colorectal cancer (PMID: 29458332). This variant has been identified in 1/250880 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. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 18, 2023The p.R732Q variant (also known as c.2195G>A), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2195. The arginine at codon 732 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been detected in a patient diagnosed with breast cancer at age 44 and colon cancer at age 49 (Dominguez-Valentin M et al. BMC Med. Genet. 2018 Feb;19:26). Using a Bayesian analysis that incorporates tumor mutation data, this variant was classified as an uncertain variant (Shirts BH et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2018 07;103:19-29). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. 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. -

not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMay 15, 2017This variant is denoted MSH6 c.2195G>A at the cDNA level, p.Arg732Gln (R732Q) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Arginine to a Glutamine (CGA>CAA). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature a germline variant; however, it has been reported as a somatic variant in a colorectal tumor (Vasovcak 2012). MSH6 Arg732Gln was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, The 1000 Genomes Consortium 2015, Lek 2016). Since Arginine and Glutamine differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. MSH6 Arg732Gln occurs at a position that is conserved across species and is located in the lever domain (Warren 2007, Kansikas 2011). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether MSH6 Arg732Gln is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
