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]

The p.E331Q variant (also known as c.991G>C), located in coding exon 11 of the MLH1 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 991. The glutamic acid at codon 331 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar 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 benign 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. -
