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

Ambry Genetics
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.S247A variant (also known as c.739T>G), located in coding exon 9 of the MLH1 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 739. The serine at codon 247 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is well 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces serine with alanine at codon 247 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 not been reported in individuals affected with MLH1-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 9/251274 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different variant affecting the same codon, c.739T>C (p.Ser247Pro), is considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 126985), suggesting that this position is important for the protein function. 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. -
