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]

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpNov 05, 2020Variant summary: The variant, MLH1 c.977T>C (p.Val326Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the DNA mismatch repair protein, S5 domain 2-like domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00048 in 278288 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0011 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote. The observed variant frequency within South Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 1.6 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in MLH1 causing Lynch Syndrome phenotype (0.00071), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of South Asian origin. This variant was found in two affected members from a Lynch family (example, Hardt 2011). Detailed genotypic and phenotypic information was not available to assert whether or not the variant co-segregated with disease. In contrast, in one family, this variant did not co-segregate with the disease: while one affected member was positive for the variant, other two affected members did not carry the variant (Pastrello 2011). In addition, tumor tissues from patients with this variant showed no loss of heterozygosity, normal expression of MLH1 or MSH2, and normal microsatellite instability (Dieumegard 2000, Spaepen 2006, Pastrello 2011, Hardt 2011). In vitro MMR and dominant mutator effect studies showed conflicting results (Shimodaira 1998, Trojan 2002, Takahashi 2007) although supporting a functional MMR activity (Trojan_2002). Furthermore, a yeast two-hybrid assay showed that hMLH1 V326A can interact with hPMS2 and hEXO1 (Kondo 2003) and the variant was shown to not affect normal splicing (Borras 2012). Twelve clinical diagnostic laboratories and one expert panel (INSIGHT) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar without evidence for independent evaluation. Eleven of them, to include the expert panel have classified the variant as likely benign/benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
