Invitae | RCV000196038 | SCV000253770 | pathogenic | Lynch syndrome | 2015-05-28 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exons 1-2 of the MSH6 gene. This deletion extends to both edges of the assayed region, and the 5' and 3' boundaries of this event are not known. However, this deletion removes the initiator methionine in exon 1, and results in the deletion of at least 152 amino acid residues of the MSH6 protein. Gross deletions in MSH6 are known to be pathogenic. Several deletions encompassing exons 1-2 have been reported in the literature in patients affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 17117178, 20591884, 22691310, 15942939). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
