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 Pathogenic:2
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthJan 14, 2020This missense variant replaces threonine with isoleucine at codon 82 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). Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. Functional studies have shown that this variant causes a significant decrease in mismatch repair activity (PMID: 17510385, 23403630). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 10422993) or suspected of having Lynch syndrome (PMID: 19690142, 28514183). This variant has been shown to segregate with disease in six related individuals in a family (PMID: 20587412). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 16, 2021The p.T82I pathogenic mutation (also known as c.245C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the MLH1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 245. The threonine at codon 82 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This mutation has been identified in multiple HNPCC/Lynch syndrome families meeting Amsterdam I/II criteria (Syngal S et al. JAMA. 1999 Jul;282(3):247-53; Sjursen W et al. J. Med. Genet. 2010 Sep;47(9):579-85; Ambry internal data). Additionally, functional studies have demonstrated that this alteration leads to a loss of function (Syngal S et al. JAMA. 1999 Jul;282(3):247-53) and reduced repair activity and expression compared to wild-type (Hinrichsen I et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 2013 May;19(9):2432-41). In another study, expression of the variant protein was normal (>75%), but p.T82I showed a dominant negative mutator effect in one of the yeast assays with in vitro MMR activity of 27.2%. This particular mutation is located in a residue thought to be critical for ATP binding and other variants around the pocket were also shown to affect both dominant mutator effect and in vitro MMR activity (Takahashi M et al. Cancer Res. 2007 May;67(10):4595-604). Lastly, this alteration has been classified as pathogenic by multifactorial analysis, which integrates the following lines of evidence to produce a quantitative likelihood of pathogenicity: in silico prediction models, segregation with disease, tumor characteristics, mutation co-occurrence, and functional assay results (Thompson B et al. Nat. Genet. 2014 Feb;46(2):107-15; available at [www.insight-group.org/variants/classifications/]). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as a pathogenic mutation. -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpOct 04, 2021Variant summary: MLH1 c.245C>T (p.Thr82Ile) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the 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 was absent in 251394 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.245C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome (Syngal_1999, Sjursen_2010, Guindalini_2015, Sarode_2019, Li_2020). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Publications also reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated that the variant resulted in decreased MMR activity (Takahashi 2007, Hinrichsen 2013). Four other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and all laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic (n=1) / likely pathogenic (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoOct 07, 2022This missense variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). In the published literature, the variant has been reported in multiple individuals with Lynch syndrome (PMID:1042293 (1999), PMID:17510385 (2007), PMID:19690412 (2010), PMID:26248088 (2015), PMID:30917047 (2019)). The variant has also been reported to decrease protein function in vitro (PMID:23403630 (2013)).Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 16, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Thr82Ala amino acid residue in MLH1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 21239990, 21404117, 22736432, 26300997, 28514183). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MLH1 function (PMID: 17510385, 23403630). 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90118). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 10422993, 19690142, 20587412, 28514183). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 82 of the MLH1 protein (p.Thr82Ile). -
