Ambry Genetics | RCV000165943 | SCV000216699 | likely pathogenic | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2023-08-08 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.R1076H variant (also known as c.3227G>A), located in coding exon 5 of the MSH6 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3227. The arginine at codon 1076 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been identified in multiple individuals whose Lynch syndrome-associated tumors displayed isolated loss of MSH6 on immunohistochemistry (IHC) and/or had high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) (Ambry internal data). This alteration was reported in one family from a cohort of 59 Asian families meeting Amsterdam I or Amsterdam II criteria (Liu Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2014 Apr;9:e94170). This alteration has also been reported in multiple patients with a personal/family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer and patients with pancreatic cancer (Wong ESY et al. NPJ Genom. Med. 2016 Jan 13;1:15003; Maxwell KN et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2016 May;98:801-817; Shindo K et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2017 Oct;35:3382-3390; Hu H et al. J Am Coll Surg. 2020 11;231:527-535.e14). Another alteration at the same amino acid position, p.R1076C, has been reported as likely pathogenic due to its identification in individuals with clinical features of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC)/Lynch syndrome and constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) syndrome (Plaschke J et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet. 2006 May;14:561-6; Okkels H et al. Int J Colorectal Dis. 2006 Dec;21:847-50; Rahner N et al. Am. J. Med. Genet. A. 2008 May;146A:1314-9; Schofield L et al. Int. J .Cancer. 2009 Sep;125:1492-3; Jasperson KW et al. Clin. Genet. 2011 Oct;80:394-7; Gardès P et al. J. Immunol. 2012 Feb;188:2023-9). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. |
Invitae | RCV000198283 | SCV000254307 | likely pathogenic | Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms | 2024-01-05 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1076 of the MSH6 protein (p.Arg1076His). This variant is present in population databases (rs779617676, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Lynch syndrome and/or MSH6-related conditions (PMID: 24710284, 26898890, 31997046; external communication). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186361). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on MSH6 protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Arg1076 amino acid residue in MSH6. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15483016, 16418736, 16525781, 18409202, 18566915, 21039432; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. |

RCV000588416 | SCV000695845 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2017-05-26 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Variant summary: The MSH6 c.3227G>A (p.Arg1076His) variant located in the DNA mismatch repair MutS, core domain (via InterPro) involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide and 4/5 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome. However, these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. This variant was found in 1/121322 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000082, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic MSH6 variant (0.0001421). Multiple publications have cited the variant in affected individuals, observed as both germline and assumed somatic occurrences, however, co-occurrence and cosegregation data was very limited. Therefore, establishing a pathogenic or benign impact for this variant cannot be obtained with this information. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as uncertain significance. Therefore, until additional information becomes available (ie additional clinical studies and/or functional studies), the variant of interest has been classified as a "Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)." |

RCV000165943 | SCV001345225 | likely pathogenic | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2023-10-19 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This missense variant replaces arginine with histidine at codon 1076 of the MSH6 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with Lynch syndrome, pancreatic, colorectal, and breast and/or ovarian cancers (PMID: 24710284, 26898890, 27153395, 29263802, 28767289, 37088804; ClinVar: SCV000216699.6). Different variants occurring at the same codon, c.3226C>T (p.Arg1076Cys) and c.3226C>G (p.Arg1076Gly), are well-documented pathogenic mutations (ClinVar Variation ID: 89357, 428337). This variant has been identified in 2/251346 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. |
