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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Jun 20, 2023	This variant deletes 2 nucleotides 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 an individual affected with early onset endometrial cancer from a family affected with Lynch syndrome-associated disease (PMID: 26687385). This variant has been identified in 1/250994 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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	Mar 09, 2023	The c.1108_1109delTT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 1108 to 1109, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L370Rfs*4). 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. -

Variant summary: MSH6 c.1108_1109delTT (p.Leu370ArgfsX4) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250994 control chromosomes (gnomAD). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1108_1109delTT in individuals affected with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

The c.1108_1109del (p.Leu370Argfs*4) variant of the MSH6 gene is located on the exon 4 and is predicted to cause reading frame shift that introduces a premature translation termination codon (p.Leu370Argfs*4), resulting in an absent or disrupted protein product. The variant has been reported in 3 individuals with endometrial cancer and 1 individual with colon cancer in a family (PMID: 26687385). Loss-of-function variants located downstream to this position have been reported in individuals with Lynch syndrome-associated cancer (PMID: 20028993). The variant is reported in ClinVar (ID: 188393). The variant is rare in the general population according to gnomAD (1/250994). Therefore, the c.1108_1109del (p.Leu370Argfs*4) variant of MSH6 has been classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu370Argfs*4) 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 variant is present in population databases (rs786204252, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of MSH6-related conditions (PMID: 26687385). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188393). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
