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]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.L296S variant (also known as c.887T>C), located in coding exon 11 of the MLH1 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 887. The leucine at codon 296 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in a patient with a personal history of invasive breast cancer before age 40 (Rummel SK et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat., 2017 Aug;164:593-601). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces leucine with serine at codon 296 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). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 28503720), basal cell carcinoma (PMIDL 30089731), and unspecified cancer suspected of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 31391288). This variant has been identified in 1/251430 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. -

Variant summary: MLH1 c.887T>C (p.Leu296Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the S5 domain 2-like fold (IPR013507) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. This variant is located close to a splice-site, therefore might also affect splicing. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.6e-06 in 775556 control chromosomes (gnomAD v4.0). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.887T>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with various tumor phenotypes, including tumor(s) that belong to the Lynch syndrome (LS) tumor spectrum (e.g. Li_2020), and also other tumors that are not part of the LS tumor spectrum (e.g. Cho_2018, Rummel_2017). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 232668). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
