Ambry Genetics RCV000163700 SCV000214274 uncertain significance Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-11-01 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.T764N variant (also known as c.2291C>A), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 2291. The threonine at codon 764 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been identified in a proband(s) who met Amsterdam I/II criteria for Lynch syndrome and tumor demonstrated high microsatellite instability; however, this variant was seen in conjunction with a pathogenic MLH1 variant (Casey G et al. JAMA 2005 Feb;293(7):799-809). This variant was also reported in one of 711 Russian women with breast cancer but was absent from 492 healthy controls. The patient with this variant also reportedly carried a BRCA2 pathogenic mutation (Nikitin AG et al. Front Oncol, 2020 May;10:666). This amino acid position is not 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.

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV000163700 SCV000685277 uncertain significance Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-12-08 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This missense variant replaces threonine with asparagine at codon 764 of the MSH6 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual with colorectal cancer, however, this individual also carried a pathogenic variant in the MLH1 gene that could explain the observed phenotype (PMID: 15713769). This variant has also been reported in an individual affected with hereditary breast cancer (PMID: 32547938). This variant has been identified in 5/282546 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.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV002307420 SCV002600391 uncertain significance not specified 2022-10-10 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: MSH6 c.2291C>A (p.Thr764Asn) results in a non-conservative amino acid change DNA mismatch repair protein MutS core (IPR007696) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251148 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2291C>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Colorectal cancer and Breast cancer without stong evidence for causality (Casey_2005, Nikitin_2020). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. Co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant have been reported (MLH1 c.350C>G, p.Thr117Arg), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.
