Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000179.3(MSH6):c.1691C>A(p.Ser564*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,888 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. S564S) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Lynch syndrome 5    Pathogenic:3 
This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a termination codon and is predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -

not provided    Pathogenic:2 
This variant is denoted MSH6 c.1691C>A at the cDNA level and p.Ser564Ter (S564X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Serine to a premature stop codon (TCA>TAA), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant has been observed in an individual tested on a hereditary colorectal cancer panel (Ferber 2016). We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome    Pathogenic:2 
This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been observed in an individual affected with ovarian cancer (Color internal data). A different DNA substitution resulting in the same protein consequence (c.1691C>G; p.Ser564*) has been observed in two families affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 27601186). This variant has not been identified 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. -
The p.S564* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1691C>A), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 1691. This changes the amino acid from a serine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. This mutation has been detected in multiple endometrial cancer patients whose tumors demonstrated loss of MSH6 on immunohistochemistry (Ambry internal data). A different nucleotide change at this position (c.1691C>G) that leads to the same stop codon was seen in two Swedish families with Lynch syndrome (Lagerstedt-Robinson K et al. Oncol. Rep., 2016 Nov;36:2823-2835). 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. -

MSH6-related disorder    Pathogenic:1 
The MSH6 c.1691C>A variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Ser564*). This variant has been reported in an individual being tested on a hereditary colorectal cancer panel (Ferber et al. 2016. Journal of Medical Diagnostic Methods, vol 5). A different nucleotide variant (c.1691C>G) which also causes a premature termination codon at this position has been reported in individuals with Lynch syndrome (Lagerstedt-Robinson et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27601186). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. Nonsense variants in MSH6 are expected to be pathogenic. Given the evidence, we interpret c.1691C>A (p.Ser564*) as pathogenic. -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms    Pathogenic:1 
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser564*) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 27601186). Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this MSH6 variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 1,370,736 individuals referred to our laboratory for MSH6 testing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 219551). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
