Description

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 reported in individuals and families affected with Lynch syndrome, with tumor analyses showing microsatellite instability and/or loss of MSH6 protein by immunohistochemistry analyses (PMID: 10508506, 12547705, 18301448, 33937060). 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.

Description

The p.Arg248X variant in MSH6 has been previously reported in 1 individual with Lynch syndrome (Steinke 2008) and 2 individuals with colorectal cancer (Wijnen 1999, Hendricks 2003). It was absent from large population studies. This variant was classified as Pathogenic on September 5, 2013 by the ClinGen-approved InSiGHT expert panel (Variation ID 89563). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 248, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the MSH6 gene is an established disease mechanism in individuals with Lynch syndrome. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant Lynch syndrome. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PS4_Supporting.
