Description

The p.T6P variant (also known as c.16A>C), located in coding exon 1 of the MSH6 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 16. The threonine at codon 6 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been reported in 1/1120 pediatric cancer patients who underwent whole genome sequencing and/or whole exome sequencing; this patient was diagnosed with high grade glioma (Zhang J et al. N. Engl. J. Med., 2015 Dec;373:2336-2346). In a study of whole-exome sequencing in patients with features of Cowden syndrome (CS) or Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS) and negative PTEN testing, this alteration was identified in 0/87 patients with CS or BRRS and 1/3476 patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) (Yehia L et al. PLoS Genet., 2018 04;14:e1007352). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Description

This missense variant replaces threonine with proline at codon 6 of the MSH6 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals with glioma (PMID: 26580448) and unspecified cancer (PMID: 29684080). This variant has been identified in 2/276232 chromosomes 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.
