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]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.N306I variant (also known as c.917A>T), located in coding exon 11 of the MLH1 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 917. The asparagine at codon 306 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in a cohort of high risk breast and ovarian cancer patients (Castéra L et al, Eur. J. Hum. Genet. 2014 Nov; 22(11):1305-1). 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. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces asparagine with isoleucine at codon 306 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 not been reported in individuals affected with MLH1-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/251432 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Different variants affecting the same codon, c.918T>A (p.Asn306Lys), c.916A>G (p.Asn306Asp), and c.917A>G (p.Asn306Ser) are described to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 90441, 2763602, 455462), 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. -

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 306 of the MLH1 protein (p.Asn306Ile). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 24549055). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 231940). Invitae Evidence Modeling incorporating data from in vitro experimental studies (internal data) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MLH1 function with a positive predictive value of 95%. 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. -
