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 testingAmbry GeneticsOct 24, 2022The p.P139A variant (also known as c.415C>G), located in coding exon 5 of the MLH1 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 415. The proline at codon 139 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was detected in one individual with ovarian cancer from a cohort of 1462 patients who underwent multigene panel testing (Shirts BH et al. Genet. Med., 2016 Oct;18:974-81). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthAug 21, 2023This missense variant replaces proline with alanine at codon 139 of the MLH1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with ovarian cancer (PMID: 26845104). This variant has been identified in 1/251438 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 testingGeneDxApr 20, 2017This variant is denoted MLH1 c.415C>G at the cDNA level, p.Pro139Ala (P139A) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Proline to an Alanine (CCT>GCT). This variant has been reported in at least one individual with ovarian cancer (Shirts 2016). MLH1 Pro139Ala was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, The 1000 Genomes Consortium 2015, Lek 2016). Since Proline and Alanine differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. MLH1 Pro139Ala occurs at a position that is conserved across species and is located in the N-terminal ATPase domain (Andersen 2012). In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether MLH1 Pro139Ala is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 17, 2022This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 139 of the MLH1 protein (p.Pro139Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs779562531, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with ovarian cancer (PMID: 26845104). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 187211). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on MLH1 protein function. 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. -
