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.

Submissions by phenotype

not provided Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxApr 29, 2016This duplication of six nucleotides is denoted MSH6 c.166_171dupGGGCCC at the cDNA level and p.Gly56_Pro57dup (G56_P57dup) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the bases that are duplicated in braces, is GCCT[GGGCCC]AGGC. This in-frame duplication occurs in a region which is not conserved and is not located in a known functional domain (Terui 2013, Kariola 2002). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as either pathogenic or benign. Since in frame duplications may or may not inhibit proper protein functioning, the clinical significance of this finding remains unclear at this time and we consider MSH6 Gly56_Pro57dup to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthNov 24, 2021This variant causes an in-frame duplication of two amino acids of the MSH6 protein. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 2/201112 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsAug 21, 2023The 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. -

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 24, 2024This variant, c.166_171dup, results in the insertion of 2 amino acid(s) of the MSH6 protein (p.Gly56_Pro57dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs786201776, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MSH6-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 184901). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
