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]

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJul 10, 2017This variant is denoted MLH1 c.479C>T at the cDNA level, p.Ala160Val (A160V) at the protein level,and results in the change of an Alanine to a Valine (GCC>GTC). This variant was observed in at least one individualwith a personal history of a Lynch syndrome-associated cancer and/or polyps (Yurgelun 2015). One in vitro functionalstudy showed mismatch repair activity and protein expression comparable to wild-type (Takahashi 2007). MLH1Ala160Val was observed at an allele frequency of 0.103% (17/16500) in individuals of South Asian ancestry in largepopulation cohorts (NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, The 1000 Genomes Consortium 2015, Lek 2016). SinceAlanine and Valine share similar properties, this is considered a conservative amino acid substitution. MLH1 Ala160Valoccurs at a position that is not conserved and is located within the N-terminal ATPase domain (Andersen 2012). TheInternational Society for Gastrointestinal Hereditary Tumours Incorporated (InSiGHT) classifies this variant as uncertainbased on insufficient evidence for classification (Thompson 2014). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding theeffect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclearwhether MLH1 Ala160Val is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance -
