Description

The c.3724_3726delCGT pathogenic mutation (also known as p.R1242del) is located in coding exon 8 of the MSH6 gene. This variant results from an in-frame CGT deletion at nucleotide positions 3724 to 3726. This results in the in-frame deletion of an arginine at codon 1242. This alteration was identified in an individual diagnosed with an MSH6-deficient rectal cancer at age 42 and a family history meeting the Amsterdam II criteria; this same alteration was present in this individual's brother, who was diagnosed with rectal cancer at age 53, and mother, who was diagnosed with endometrial cancer at age 54 and ascending colon cancer at age 78 (Roncari B et al. Clin. Genet. 2007 Sep;72:230-7). This alteration has also been reported in multiple other patients with a personal and/or family history consistent with Lynch syndrome, including several demonstrating loss of MSH6 protein by immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis (Baglietto L et al. J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 2010 Feb;102:193-201; Batte BA et al. Gynecol. Oncol. 2014 Aug;134(2):319-25; Ring KL et al. Mod. Pathol. 2016 Nov;29:1381-1389; Ambry internal data). In addition, a missense variant impacting codon 1242 (p.R1242H) has been detected in trans with a pathogenic MSH6 mutation in an individual whose clinical presentation was consistent with CMMR-D due to biallelic MSH6 mutations and had isolated absence of MSH6 in both tumor and normal tissue by IHC (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

Description

This variant causes a deletion of the conserved arginine at codon 1242 located in the ATPase domain of the MSH6 protein. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 20028993; ClinVar SCV000183865.7), colorectal cancer (PMID: 17718861), and endometrial cancer (PMID: 24933100, 27443514). This variant has been shown to segregate with colorectal cancer in three members of a family (PMID: 17718861). Loss of MSH6 protein expression has been observed in tumor tissues from two affected carriers (PMID: 17718861, 24933100). This variant has also been observed in an individual affected with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency who carried a pathogenic MSH6 variant in trans (ClinVar SCV000183865.7). A multifactorial likelihood analysis using genetic data, computational prediction and tumor pathology has indicated that this variant has a high probability of being pathogenic (PMID: 24362816). This variant has been identified in 2/251212 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Missense variants occurring at this codon, p.Arg1242His and p.Arg1242Ser, are thought to be disease-causing (Clinvar variation ID: 140866, 89449), indicating the importance of arginine at this codon for MSH6 protein function. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
