Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5

The NM_000249.4(MLH1):​c.910G>T​(p.Asp304Tyr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D304G) has been classified as Pathogenic.

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]

In summary, this variant is a novel missense change with uncertain impact on protein function that has been shown to segregate with disease in a family. A different missense substitution at this codon has been determined to be deleterious. This evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data is needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. A different missense substitution at this codon (p.Asp304Val) has been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10882759, 21952876, 17510385, 24362816). This suggests that the aspartic acid residue is critical for MLH1 protein function and that other missense substitutions at this position may also be pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. This variant was observed to segregate with colorectal cancer in a single family (Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces aspartic acid with tyrosine at codon 304 of the MLH1 protein (p.Asp304Tyr). The aspartic acid residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between aspartic acid and tyrosine. -

The p.D304Y variant (also known as c.910G>T), located in coding exon 11 of the MLH1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 910. The aspartic acid at codon 304 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by MAPP-MMR in silico analyses (Chao EC et al. Hum. Mutat. 2008 Jun;29:852-60). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
