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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Jun 24, 2019	This frameshift variant causes the premature termination of MSH6 protein synthesis. In addition, this variant has been reported in the literature in individuals with personal and family history of colorectal cancer (PMID: 28944238 (2017), 23733757 (2013)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Jun 15, 2023	The MSH6 c.2230dup; p.Glu744GlyfsTer12 variant (rs786201050) is reported in the literature in several individuals affected with Lynch syndrome-associated cancers (Brand 2018, Chan 2018, DeRycke 2017, Espenschied 2017, Lilyquist 2017, Ward 2013). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 183739) and is only observed on two alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by inserting a single nucleotide, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be likely pathogenic. References: Brand R et al.

Lynch syndrome 5 Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Aug 16, 2023	This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a frameshift predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	May 04, 2018	The MSH6 c.2230dupG (p.Glu744GlyfsTer12) variant, also reported as c.2228_2229insG, results in a frameshift, and is predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. The p.Glu744GlyfsTer12 variant has been reported in two studies and is found in a compound heterozygous state in two probands with colorectal cancer (Ward et al. 2013; DeRycke et al. 2017). The variant is reported at a frequency of 0.000016 in the European (non-Finnish) population from the Genome Aggregation Database but this is based on two alleles in a region of good sequence coverage so the variant is presumed to be rare. Due to the potential impact of frameshift variants and evidence from literature, the p.Glu744GlyfsTer12 variant is classified as likely pathogenic for Lynch syndrome. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	May 07, 2023	This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with ovarian and endometrial cancer (PMID: 30093976), colorectal cancer (PMID: 23733757, 28944238), pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PMID: 30067863 ), and breast cancer (PMID: 29345684). This variant has been identified in 2/282300 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) and has been reported in a control sample (PMID: 30128536). Loss of MSH6 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jun 25, 2021	The c.2230dupG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a duplication of G at nucleotide position 2230, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E744Gfs*12). This mutation has been reported in multiple Lynch syndrome individuals (Ward RL et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2013 Jul;31:2554-62; Espenschied CR et al. J Clin Oncol, 2017 Aug;35:2568-2575; Chan GHJ et al. Oncotarget, 2018 Jul;9:30649-30660; Brand R et al. Cancer, 2018 09;124:3520-352; Grzymski JJ et al. Nat Med, 2020 08;26:1235-1239). 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. -

Endometrial carcinoma Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System	-	The MSH6 p.Glu744Glyfs*12 variant was identified in 2 of 2872 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0007) from individuals or families with endometrial, ovarian, or colorectal cancer (Chan 2018, Ward 2013). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs786201050) as "With Pathogenic allele", ClinVar (classified as pathogenic by Invitae, Ambry Genetics and three other submitters), and UMD-LSDB (1x as causal). The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016) or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). This variant was identified by our laboratory in a patient with MSH6-deficient endometrial cancer. The c.2230dup variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 744 and leads to a premature stop codon at position 755. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the MSH6 gene are an established mechanism of disease in Lynch syndrome and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

Variant summary: MSH6 c.2230dupG (p.Glu744GlyfsX12) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which is a commonly known mechanism for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250900 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2230dupG has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with colorectal cancer or ovarian and endometrial cancer with family histories of cancer (e.g. Ward_2013, Chan_2018). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23733757, 30093976). Six submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and classified it as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
