Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3_ModeratePP5
The NM_000249.4(MLH1):āc.230G>Cā(p.Cys77Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000657 in 152,132 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. C77R) has been classified as Pathogenic.

This variant is denoted MLH1 c.230G>C at the cDNA level, p.Cys77Ser (C77S) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Cysteine to a Serine (TGT>TCT). Functional interrogation of this variant by MLH1 human-yeast hybrid assay demonstrated a 34-66% loss of MMR function (Ellison 2004). Of note, the International Society for Gastrointestinal Hereditary Tumours Incorporated (InSiGHT) classifies additional variants at this residue, MLH1 Cys77Arg and MLH1 Cys77Tyr, as pathogenic based on observation in families with Lynch syndrome, as well as functional data (Shimodaira 1998, Nystrom-Lahti 2002, Raevaara 2005, Takahashi 2007, Thompson 2013, Thompson 2014). MLH1 Cys77Ser was not observed in large population cohorts (Lek 2016, The 1000 Genomes Consortium 2015, NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project). Since Cysteine and Serine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. MLH1 Cys77Ser occurs at a position that is conserved across species and is not located in a known functional domain. In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on the currently available evidence, we consider MLH1 Cys77Ser to be a likely pathogenic variant. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
This missense variant replaces cysteine with serine at codon 77 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). In a human-yeast hybrid assay, the variant was reported to demonstrate a 34-66% loss of mismatch repair function (PMID: 15475387). This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MLH1-related disorders in the literature. Different variants affecting the same codon, c.229T>C (p.Cys77Arg) and c.230G>A (p.Cys77Tyr), are considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 234622), suggesting that this position is important for the protein function. This variant has not been identified 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. -
