GeneDx RCV000485263 SCV000567945 pathogenic not provided 2021-11-29 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek 2016); Truncating variants in this gene are considered pathogenic by a well-established clinical consortium and/or database; Observed in patients with Lynch-related cancers and tumor studies consistent with pathogenic variants in this gene (Verma 1999, Murphy 2008, Pritchard 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25525159, 27433846, 25871441, 10507723, 18409202, 18709565, 21376568, 21674763, 18236172, 17259933, 27806231, 33087929)
Invitae RCV000703480 SCV000832383 pathogenic Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms 2023-10-10 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr214*) in the MSH6 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MSH6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18269114, 24362816). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer and metastatic prostate cancer and constitutional mismatch repair-deficiency (PMID: 10507723, 17259933, 27433846). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89547). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Ambry Genetics RCV001025256 SCV001187409 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2019-12-16 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.Y214* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.642C>G), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 642. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. This alteration, described as C642G (Tyr214Ter), was detected in a proband with colorectal cancer diagnosed at age 43 whose tumor was MSI-H (Verma L et al. J. Med. Genet., 1999 Sep;36:678-82). This alteration has also been detected in the compound heterozygous state in a child with a personal history of hyperpigmented and hypopigmented skin lesions, IgA and IgG2 deficiencies, medulloblastoma diagnosed at age 7, acute myelocytic leukemia diagnosed at age 10 and two colonic carcinomas diagnosed at age 13 (Scott RH et al. Nat Clin Pract Oncol, 2007 Feb;4:130-4). It has been identified in a patient with a history of sebaceous adenomas, testicular embryonal teratoma and adenomatous colon polyps with a family history of gastrointestinal malignancies (Murphy HR et al. Fam. Cancer, 2008 Jan;7:255-7). This alteration was also identified in 1/692 men with metastatic prostate cancer who were unselected for family history of cancer or age at diagnosis (Pritchard CC et al. N. Engl. J. Med., 2016 Aug;375:443-53). 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.

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine RCV000075016 SCV004848288 pathogenic Lynch syndrome 2019-10-14 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.Tyr214X variant in MSH6 has been previously reported in the heterozygous state in at least 1 individual with colorectal cancer (Verma 1999), 1 individual with metastatic prostate cancer (Pritchard 2016), and 1 individual with multiple sebaceous adenomas/embryonal teratoma of the testis and family history of gastrointestinal cancers (Murphy 2008), and in the compound heterozygous state in 1 individual with constitutional mismatch repair-deficiency (Scott 2007). It was absent from large population studies. This variant was classified as Pathogenic on September 5, 2013 by the ClinGen-approved InSiGHT expert panel (Variation ID 89547). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 214, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the MSH6 gene is an established disease mechanism in individuals with Lynch syndrome. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant Lynch syndrome. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PS4_Supporting, PM3.
