About MSH6

No gene-level summary was recorded for this case.

LYFE Sciences is an AI system, and it can make mistakes. Criteria may be applied incorrectly, sources may be misread, and a confident-looking classification can still be wrong. Double-check every criterion and its underlying evidence before relying on any call.

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).
