Genes affected
MLH1 (HGNC:7127): (mutL homolog 1) The protein encoded by this gene can heterodimerize with mismatch repair endonuclease PMS2 to form MutL alpha, part of the DNA mismatch repair system. When MutL alpha is bound by MutS beta and some accessory proteins, the PMS2 subunit of MutL alpha introduces a single-strand break near DNA mismatches, providing an entry point for exonuclease degradation. The encoded protein is also involved in DNA damage signaling and can heterodimerize with DNA mismatch repair protein MLH3 to form MutL gamma, which is involved in meiosis. This gene was identified as a locus frequently mutated in hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC). [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.75).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.0000432 (26/602526) while in subpopulation EAS AF= 0.00078 (25/32034). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000542. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 17 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 7. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsAug 17, 2018The c.-198G>A variant is located in the 5' untranslated region (5’ UTR) of the MLH1 gene. This variant results from a G to A substitution 198 bases upstream from the first translated codon. This nucleotide position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
