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]

Submissions by phenotype

Colorectal cancer, hereditary nonpolyposis, type 2 Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 28, 2017This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Lynch syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthJul 29, 2024This missense variant replaces alanine with serine at codon 31 of the MLH1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MLH1-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 22/282520 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesMar 31, 2022The MLH1 c.91_92delinsTG; p.Ala31Cys variant (rs63749994) is reported in the medical literature in several individuals with Lynch syndrome (Auclair 2006, Drost 2010, Hardt 2011), some of whom also carried the MLH1 c.1360G>C; p.Gly454Arg variant of uncertain significance (Auclair 2006, Hardt 2011). The c.91_92delGCinsTG variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 90442), and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.0078% (22/282508 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The alanine at position 31 is highly conserved and computational algorithms (PolyPhen2, SIFT) predict a deleterious effect. This variant has reduced in vitro mismatch repair activity when compared to wild type, but still maintains significantly higher activity than known deleterious variants (Drost 2010). However, given the limited clinical and functional data, the significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. References: Auclair et al.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 13, 2019The p.A31S variant (also known as c.91G>T), located in coding exon 1 of the MLH1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 91. The alanine at codon 31 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by MAPP-MMR in silico analyses (Chao EC et al. Hum. Mutat. 2008 Jun;29:852-60). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
