Description

The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0004 (12/30232 chromosomes in South Asian subpop subpopulation, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. To the best of our knowledge, the variant has not been reported in individuals with a MSH6 related disorder in the published literature. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant.

Description

The MSH6 c.-8C>T variant (rs565211544) is not published in the medical literature, to our knowledge, but is listed as a variant of uncertain significance by several sources in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 89164). The variant is listed in the Genome Aggregation Database in 30 out of 270614 alleles. This variant occurs 8 nucleotides before the translational start, the nucleotide at this position is not perfectly conserved across species, and the consequence of this substitution cannot be predicted with certainty. Studies of the transcriptional regulation of this region indicate this nucleotide may be involved in the regulation of this gene (Gazzoli 2003, Szadkowski 2002). Additionally, a translational prediction algorithm (NetStart 1.0) predicts this variant may alter translation. Considering available information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty. References: Gazzoli I and Kolodner R.
