Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionmsh-6 encodes a gene orthologous to human MSH6 (homolog of MutS), which is involved in post-replicative mismatch DNA repair (MMR); in elegans, msh-6 defective animals show an elevated level of spontaneous mutants in both the male and female germline; in elegans, similar to higher mammals, MMR surveillance is likely carried out by a MSH-2/MSH-6 heterodimer.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005340

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable four-way junction DNA binding activity and mismatched DNA binding activity. Involved in maintenance of DNA repeat elements and mismatch repair. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of MutSalpha complex. Used to study Lynch syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including colorectal carcinoma; hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer type 5; and mismatch repair cancer syndrome. Is an ortholog of human MSH6 (mutS homolog 6).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceIn humans, the DNA mismatch repair complex consists of the MSH6 and MSH2 proteins, orthologous to the msh-6 and msh-2 genes in elegans; mutations in human MSH6 are associated with colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, and Mismatch repair cancer syndrome.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00024965

RemarkSequence connection from [Boulton S, Vidal M]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
