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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.30723125).
• BP6: Variant 3-37040196-G-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr3-37040196-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 89792.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=2, Uncertain_significance=3}. Variant chr3-37040196-G-T is described in Lovd as [Benign].

GeneDx

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: The MLH1 c.1569G>T (p.Glu523Asp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 3/4 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index). Two functional studies showed that the mutation is not localized in, and does not create or disrupt any regulatory sequence (Lastella_BMC Genomics_2006) and that this variant maintained 76.6% in vitro MMR activity with >75% relative MLH1 expression (Takahashi_Cancer Res_2007). The neutrality of this variant has been suggested by computational studies (Chao_MSH2-MLH1_HM_2008, Lastella_BMC Genomics_2006). The variant of interest has not been found in a large, broad control population, ExAC in 121250 control chromosomes. One reputable database classified this variant as uncertain significance. The variant is classified as VUS until more functional studies and/or clinical information become available. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 523 of the MLH1 protein (p.Glu523Asp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 28449805). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89792). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MLH1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect MLH1 function (PMID: 17510385, 30998989). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
