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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 3-37028785-AAG-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-37028785-AAG-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 89733.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr3-37028785-AAG-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg472Thrfs*6) in the MLH1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 17653898). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89733). Loss-of-function variants in MLH1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15713769, 24362816). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1415_1416delGA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 13 of the MLH1 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 1415 to 1416, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.R472Tfs*6). This variant was reported in multiple individuals with features consistent with Lynch syndrome (Rahner N et al. Acta Oncol, 2007;46:763-9; Morak M et al. Eur J Hum Genet, 2019 Dec;27:1808-1820). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
