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.

The MSH6 c.166_171dup (p.Gly56_Pro57dup) variant results in an in-frame duplication of two amino acids of the MSH6 protein. This variant not been reported in individuals with MSH6-related conditions in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0000099 (2/201112 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

The c.166_171dupGGGCCC variant (also known as p.G56_P57dup), located in coding exon 1 of the MSH6 gene, results from an in-frame duplication of GGGCCC at nucleotide positions 166 to 171. This results in the duplication of 2 extra residues (GP) between codons 56 and 57. This amino acid region is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be neutral by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
