Invitae RCV000205910 SCV000259726 pathogenic Lynch syndrome 2016-05-04 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exons 3-4 of the MSH6 gene. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, gross deletions in MSH6 are known to be pathogenic and similar deletions have been reported in patients with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (PMID: 20487569, 20028993). This deletion is an in-frame codon deletion and is not predicted to cause premature truncation of the MSH6 protein. However, the region of the MSH6 gene that is deleted encodes important MSH6 protein domains (PMID: 21437237, 23622243, 9774676, 18484749) and is expected to impact protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
