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]

This variant is denoted MLH1 c.-37A>G, and describes a nucleotide substitution 37 base pairs upstream of the MLH1 ATG translational start site in the 5' untranslated region (UTR). The surrounding sequence, with the base that is substituted in braces, is GTTG[A/G]GCAT. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature as pathogenic or benign. MLH1 c.-37A>G does not appear to affect the start codon or the Kozak translational consensus sequence. Of note, constitutional epigenetic silencing of MLH1 has been suggested as an alternate mechanism responsible for Lynch syndrome, and other variants located within the 5' UTR have been shown to result in allele-specific promoter methylation and subsequent transcriptional silencing (Hitchins 2011, Ward 2013). This variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The nucleotide which is altered, an adenine (A), is conserved among mammals. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether MLH1 c.-37A>G is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
