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 MLH1 c.1039-8_1039-7insTTTTTA variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in dbSNP, COSMIC, Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database, MMR Gene Unclassified Variants Database, InSiGHT Colon Cancer Gene Variant Database, Zhejiang Colon Cancer, COGR, or UMD databases. The variant was identified in the Clinvar database (classified as benign by Invitae). Clinvar also documents multiple variant deletions and insertions in this 5’ polynucleotide stretch as benign or likely benign. The variant was identified in control databases in 3079 of 118408 chromosomes (58 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.03, increasing the likelihood this could be a benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 524 of 5932 chromosomes (freq: 0.09), European (Non-Finnish) in 1791 of 58686 chromosomes (freq: 0.03), Other in 59 of 2174 chromosomes (freq: 0.03), East Asian in 121 of 5950 chromosomes (freq: 0.02), Finnish in 270 of 15534 chromosomes (freq: 0.02), Latino in 111 of 8698 chromosomes (freq: 0.01), South Asian in 157 of 16556 chromosomes (freq: 0.009), and Ashkenazi Jewish in 46 of 4878 chromosomes (freq: 0.009). In a study of Slovenian patients with gastric cancer, the variant IVS12 1039-7delT(n) is considered a germline polymorphism, co-occurring with pathogenic germline MLH1 mutation(s), detected in matched normal and tumour tissue of these patients (Hudler 2004). The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 2 out of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign.
