| Impact List | nonsense |
| Protein Effect | unknown |
| Gene Variant Descriptions | MSH6 Y1256* results in a premature truncation of the Msh6 protein at amino acid 1256 of 1360 (UniProt.org). Y1256* has been identified in the scientific literature (PMID: 35739269, PMID: 33393477, PMID: 26552419), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Msh6 protein function is unknown (PubMed, Nov 2025). |
