Genes affected
MLH3 (HGNC:7128): (mutL homolog 3) This gene is a member of the MutL-homolog (MLH) family of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. MLH genes are implicated in maintaining genomic integrity during DNA replication and after meiotic recombination. The protein encoded by this gene functions as a heterodimer with other family members. Somatic mutations in this gene frequently occur in tumors exhibiting microsatellite instability, and germline mutations have been linked to hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer type 7 (HNPCC7). Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified, but the full-length nature of only two transcript variants has been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsAug 16, 2023The p.A1394T variant (also known as c.4180G>A), located in coding exon 11 of the MLH3 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 4180. The alanine at codon 1394 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been observed in individuals whose colon tumors demonstrated microsatellite stability and normal expression on immunohistochemistry (IHC) (Wu Y et al. Nat. Genet., 2001 Oct;29:137-8; Raskin L et al. Oncotarget, 2017 Nov;8:93450-93463). This alteration has also not been observed in a cohort of colorectal cancer patients (Hienonen T et al. Int. J. Cancer, 2003 Aug;106:292-6). Functional assays demonstrated similar MMR activity and expression for p.A1394T compared to wild-type MLH3 (Korhonen MK et al. Genes Chromosomes Cancer, 2008 Sep;47:803-9). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. The evidence for this gene-disease relationship is limited; therefore, the clinical significance of this alteration is unclear. -
Colorectal cancer, hereditary nonpolyposis, type 7 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 04, 2023This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1394 of the MLH3 protein (p.Ala1394Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs138006166, gnomAD 0.04%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Lynch syndrome and/or colorectal cancer (PMID: 11586295, 19156873, 29212164). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 161297). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect MLH3 function (PMID: 18521850). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
