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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthDec 05, 2022This missense variant replaces threonine with isoleucine at codon 81 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 4/282734 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 23, 2024The p.T81I variant (also known as c.242C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the MLH1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 242. The threonine at codon 81 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was identified in a cohort of 3,579 African males diagnosed with prostate cancer who underwent multi-gene panel testing of 19 DNA repair and cancer predisposition genes (Matejcic M et al. JCO Precis Oncol, 2020 Jan;4:32-43). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 08, 2021Variant summary: MLH1 c.242C>T (p.Thr81Ile) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the DNA mismatch repair protein family, N-terminal domain (IPR002099) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251394 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.242C>T in individuals affected with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer/Lynch syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

MLH1-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesSep 23, 2022The MLH1 c.242C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Thr81Ile. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.016% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/3-37042480-C-T). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 08, 2023This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 81 of the MLH1 protein (p.Thr81Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs63751069, gnomAD 0.02%). 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: 135852). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MLH1 protein function with a positive 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. -
