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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMyriad Genetics, Inc.Mar 28, 2023This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance as there is insufficient evidence to determine its impact on protein function and/or cancer risk. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthMar 29, 2023This missense variant replaces glycine with arginine at codon 46 of the MSH6 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 22495361). This variant has not been identified 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 GeneticsFeb 15, 2024The p.G46R variant (also known as c.136G>A), located in coding exon 1 of the MSH6 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 136. The glycine at codon 46 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration was identified in a Danish individual with a personal and/or family history suspicious for Lynch syndrome whose tumor had normal immunohistochemistry (Okkels H et al. Appl. Immunohistochem. Mol. Morphol., 2012 Oct;20:470-7). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 31, 2024This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 46 of the MSH6 protein (p.Gly46Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 22495361). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 219577). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MSH6 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -
