The recorded framework is ClinGen MSH6 VCEP v2.0.0. The criteria and strengths shown below come from the saved assessment; this page does not recalculate the classification.
The applied criteria and their strengths are shown as assessed under the stated framework.
No pathogenic criterion marked as applied in the recorded assessment.
Population frequency meets the MSH6 BS1 threshold. In gnomAD v4.1, the grpmax filtering allele frequency is 0.00024593, which is above the BS1 threshold of 0.00022 and below the BA1 threshold of 0.0022.
Computational evidence supports a benign interpretation. For this MSH6 missense variant, the HCI prior probability is 0.0021, which is below the BP4 threshold of 0.11. Additional predictors do not suggest a damaging effect, with REVEL 0.272, BayesDel -0.256015, and SpliceAI max delta 0.01 indicating no significant splice impact.

OncoKB did not identify variant-specific reviewed functional evidence for this variant; gene-level curated context is available for reviewer follow-up. MSH6, a DNA mismatch repair protein, is frequently mutated in colorectal, small bowel, and endometrial cancers.
This variant has not previously been reported in somatic cancers (COSMIC).
This variant does not lie in a statistically significant hotspot.

The MSH6 c.866G>A (p.Gly289Asp; p.G289D) variant has not been observed in COSMIC and has been reported in ClinVar with conflicting germline classifications, including uncertain significance, likely benign, and benign submissions.
This variant is present in gnomAD v4.1 at an allele frequency of 0.000216846 (350/1614052 alleles) with grpmax filtering allele frequency 0.00024593, which exceeds the MSH6 BS1 threshold of 0.00022 but remains below the BA1 threshold of 0.0022.
Computational data support a benign interpretation: the MSH6 HCI prior probability is 0.0021, below the BP4 threshold of 0.11, SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact with a max delta score of 0.01, and additional predictors are not strongly damaging (REVEL 0.272; BayesDel -0.256015).

MSH6 PVS1 applies to specified loss-of-function and qualifying splice-aberrant variants, with strength based on variant type and predicted consequence.

Same amino acid change as a previously established Pathogenic or Likely Pathogenic variant, subject to the MSH6 VCEP splice-related restrictions.
De novo points-based scoring for supporting, moderate, strong, or very strong evidence.
Calibrated functional assays with functional odds for pathogenicity >2.08, or MMR function defect following the MMR functional assay flowchart, with strength based on odds or assay result.
Points-based in trans evidence for pathogenicity with supporting, moderate, strong, or very strong strength.
Missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change was classified by this VCEP as Pathogenic or Likely Pathogenic on the protein level and not due to aberrant splicing; PM5 use also requires PP3 support for the missense change.
Co-segregation with disease in pedigree(s) with combined Bayes likelihood ratio thresholds for supporting, moderate, or strong evidence.
1/2/≥3 independent CRC or endometrial MSI-H tumors and/or loss of MMR protein expression consistent with the variant location, with strength based on amount of evidence.
Co-occurrence in trans with a known pathogenic sequence variant in the same gene in a patient with colorectal cancer after age 45 (or other LS cancer above the median age of onset for that cancer in LS), without evidence of CMMRD; confirmation of phase requires testing of parents or offspring.
Calibrated functional assays with functional odds for pathogenicity ≤ 0.05, or supporting evidence from proficient function in protein and mRNA-based assays per the MMR functional assay flowchart.
Lack of co-segregation with disease in pedigree(s) with combined Bayes likelihood ratio thresholds for supporting or strong evidence.
