Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2 PP3

The NM_000249.4(MLH1):​c.1730C>G​(p.Ser577Trp) variant causes a missense, splice region change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 2/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. S577S) has been classified as Pathogenic.

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]

This variant is denoted MLH1 c.1730C>G at the cDNA level, p.Ser577Trp (S577W) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Serine to a Tryptophan (TCG>TGG). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. MLH1 Ser577Trp was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Serine and Tryptophan differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. MLH1 Ser577Trp occurs at a position that is highly conserved across species and is located in the region of interaction with PMS2/MLH3/PMS1 (Raevaara 2005). In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether MLH1 Ser577Trp is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
