Gene Symbol MSH6
Synonyms GTBP | GTMBP | HNPCC5 | HSAP | LYNCH5 | MMRCS3 | MSH-6 | p160
Gene Description MSH6, mutS homolog 6, binds with Msh2 to form the MutS-alpha complex, which functions in initiation of the DNA mismatch repair system (PMID: 23391514) and is associated with microsatellite instability (MSI) (PMID: 30121009). Mutations in MSH6 are associated with susceptibility to colon cancer and endometrial cancer (PMID: 20028993), and germline MSH6 mutations are associated with Lynch (Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer) syndrome (PMID: 15528792).

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Spaces will be interpreted literally in the search. Use the percentage character '%' as a wildcard to search for multiple values
  • When searching for values delimited by '%', searches are ordered by their appearance in the text. (i.e. 'A%C' will likely return different results than 'C%A')
  • Precede text with a caret '^' to indicate search should "start with" the text
  • Follow text with a dollar sign '$' to indicate search should "end with" the preceding text

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
