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]

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Identified in a patient with multiple primary tumors and a known clinical diagnosis of multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome 1 who was found to harbor the p.(T14I) variant in the MLH1 gene, additional variants in other cancer-susceptibility genes and a likely pathogenic variant in the MEN1 gene (PMID: 34711244); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28195393, 31937788, 22753075, 34711244) -

The MLH1 c.41C>T; p.Thr14Ile variant (rs774363593, ClinVar Variation ID: 405381) is reported in the literature in an individual affected with multiple adenomas and neuroendocrine tumors, however, this individual also carried a MEN1 variant that likely explains the phenotype (Wallander 2021). This variant is only observed on one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.546). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. References: Wallander K et al. Massive parallel sequencing in individuals with multiple primary tumours reveals the benefit of re-analysis. Hered Cancer Clin Pract. 2021 Oct 28;19(1):46.

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 14 of the MLH1 protein (p.Thr14Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs774363593, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MLH1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405381). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MLH1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.T14I variant (also known as c.41C>T), located in coding exon 1 of the MLH1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 41. The threonine at codon 14 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was identified in a cohort of 274 individuals undergoing panel testing for Lynch syndrome due to having a diagnosis of a Lynch-associated cancer and/or polyps (Hansen MF et al. Clin. Genet., 2017 Oct;92:405-414). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
