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]

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 497 of the MLH1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MLH1-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 9/282892 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.R497W variant (also known as c.1489C>T), located in coding exon 13 of the MLH1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1489. The arginine at codon 497 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant was identified in a cohort of 3,579 African males diagnosed with prostate cancer who underwent multi-gene panel testing of 19 DNA repair and cancer predisposition genes (Matejcic M et al. JCO Precis Oncol, 2020 Jan;4:32-43).This amino acid position is well 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is denoted MLH1 c.1489C>T at the cDNA level, p.Arg497Trp (R497W) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Arginine to a Tryptophan (CGG>TGG). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. MLH1 Arg497Trp was not observed at a significant allele frequency in 1000 Genomes. Since Arginine and Tryptophan differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. MLH1 Arg497Trp occurs at a position where amino acids with properties similar to Arginine are tolerated across species and is located in the PMS2/PMS1 interaction domain and region of interaction with EXO1 (Pang 1997, UniProt). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether MLH1 Arg497Trp is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: The MLH1 c.1489C>T (p.Arg497Trp) variant causes a missense change involving a non-conserved nucleotide with 3/4 in silico tools (SNPs&Go not captured here due to low reliability index) predict a "benign" outcome, although these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. The variant of interest was observed in the large, broad control population, ExAC, with an allele frequency of 3/121412 (1/40469), which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic MLH1 variant of 1/1407. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via publications, however, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories cite the variant as "uncertain significance." Therefore, until additional information becomes available (ie, clinical and functional studies), the variant of interest has been classified as a "Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)." -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 497 of the MLH1 protein. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses are inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on the protein function. Computational splicing tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional assays have not been performed for this variant nor has this variant been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 9/282892 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
