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]

The p.M1? pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1A>T), located in coding exon 1 of the MLH1 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 1. This alters the methionine residue at the initiation codon (ATG). This variant has been reported in an individual with colorectal cancer who underwent cancer multi-gene testing (Akcay IM et al. Int J Cancer, 2021 01;148:285-295). Another alteration affecting the initiation codon, p.M1? (c.3G>A), has been detected in multiple Lynch syndrome families meeting Amsterdam criteria (Guillem JG et al. Ann Surg. 2007 Apr;245(4):560-5; Ambry internal data). Sequence variations that modify the initiation codon are expected to result in either loss of translation initiation, N-terminal truncation, or cause a shift in the mRNA reading frame. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
