Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000249.4(MLH1):​c.382delG​(p.Ala128GlnfsTer8) variant causes a frameshift, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A128A) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

Lynch syndrome Pathogenic:2
Dec 25, 2015
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change deletes 1 nucleotide from exon 5 of the MLH1 mRNA (c.382delG), causing a frameshift at codon 128. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ala128Glnfs*8) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Truncating variants in MLH1 are known to be pathogenic. This particular truncation has been reported in a family with individuals affected with breast cancer and with colon cancer (PMID: 17026620). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
