Description
The p.Leu1080ValfsX12 variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the dbSNP, NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (Exome Variant Server), Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC), Clinvitae, COSMIC, MutDB, “Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database”, “MMR Gene Unclassified Variants Database”, “InSiGHT Colon Cancer Database”, “Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database”, the ClinVar and UMD databases. The p.Leu1080ValfsX12 deletion variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 1080 and leads to a premature stop codon 12 codons downstream. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the MSH6 gene are an established mechanism of disease in Lynch syndrome and this is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic.
