International Society for Gastrointestinal Hereditary Tumours (InSiGHT) RCV000074783 SCV000107994 pathogenic Lynch syndrome 2013-09-05 reviewed by expert panel research Coding sequence variation resulting in a stop codon
Ambry Genetics RCV000491935 SCV000580118 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2021-04-08 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.Q939* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2815C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2851. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. This mutation was detected in an individual diagnosed with colon cancer at age 47 who had a family history of colon cancer (Kets CM et al. Br J Cancer. 2006 Dec 18;95(12):1678-82) as well as in an individual with endometrioid endometrial cancer diagnosed at age 60 (Jóri B et al. Oncotarget, 2015 Dec;6:41108-22). This mutation was also detected in an individual diagnosed with colon cancer at ages 38, 51, 58 followed by cancer of the ileum at age 65 and urothelial cancer at age 69. The ileum tumor showed microsatellite instability and a loss of MSH6 staining on IHC. This individual also had a family history of HNPCC associated cancers (Overbeek LI et al. Br J Cancer. 2007 May 21;96(10):1605-12). In another study, this variant was reported in 1/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 0/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med, 2021 02;384:428-439). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
Myriad Genetics, Inc. RCV003450950 SCV004185604 pathogenic Lynch syndrome 5 2023-08-21 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a termination codon and is predicted to result in premature protein truncation.
