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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-47800893-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47800893-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 428412.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jun 08, 2017	This variant is denoted MSH6 c.2910G>A at the cDNA level and p.Trp970Ter (W970X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Tryptophan to a premature stop codon (TGG>TGA), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as a germline variant; however, it has been reported as a somatic variant in an epithelial ovarian tumor (Jean 2016). We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp970*) 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 premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with ovarian cancer (PMID: 30322717). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 428412). -

The p.W970* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2910G>A), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2910. This changes the amino acid from a tryptophan to a stop codon within coding exon 4. This mutation was identified in a cohort of 4439 women with ovarian cancer who underwent multi gene panel testing for hereditary cancer (Carter NJ et al. Gynecol. Oncol. 2018 12;151:481-488). 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. -
