Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points: 0P and 3B. BP4_ModerateBP6
The NM_000249.4(MLH1):c.1359G>C(p.Lys453Asn) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000805 in 1,614,042 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely benign in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. K453R) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:3

The p.K453N variant (also known as c.1359G>C), located in coding exon 12 of the MLH1 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 1359. The lysine at codon 453 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with similar properties. In one study, this variant was reported in 1/1893 women with epithelial ovarian cancer (Pal T et al. Br. J. Cancer. 2012 Nov; 107(10):1783-90). This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
This missense variant replaces lysine with asparagine at codon 453 of the MLH1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast and uterine cancers (PMID: 34326862), kidney cancer (PMID: 29684080), and ovarian cancer (PMID: 23047549). In a large breast cancer case-control study, this variant has been reported in 4/60466 cases and 2/53461 unaffected controls (PMID: 33471991). This variant has been identified in 2/250974 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
not provided Uncertain:2
Variant summary: The MLH1 c.1359G>C (p.Lys453Asn) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. 4/5 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 1/121006 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000083, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic MLH1 variant (0.0007105). This variant has been reported in one OvC patient without strong evidence for causality. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as uncertain significance. Taken together, this variant is classified as VUS until more evidence becomes available. -
Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 33471991, 22753075, 29684080, 34326862, 23047549) -
