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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 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 3-37047543-G-GC is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-37047543-G-GC is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 89879.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.

Variant summary: MLH1 c.1758dupC (p.Met587HisfsX6) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Variants downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 251270 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1758dupC has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome, and was shown to segregate with disease in an affected family (e.g. Kim_2009). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Publications also reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, demonstrating that while the N-terminal portion of the MLH1 protein was detectable, the C-terminal portion was undetectable in patient derived colon tissue samples (Kim_2009), in addition the truncated protein was unable to bind to Pms2 in a yeast two-hybrid assay (Kondo_2003). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is also known as 586 ins 1bp . ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89879). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) (PMID: 7757073). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Met587Hisfs*6) in the MLH1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MLH1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15713769, 24362816). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1758dupC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 16 of the MLH1 gene, results from a duplication of C at nucleotide position 1758, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.M587Hfs*6). This variant was reported in multiple Korean individuals with features consistent with Lynch syndrome (Han et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 1995; 4(2)237-42; Shin et al. Hum. Mutat. 2004;24(4):351; Wei et al. J. Bioinform. Comput. Biol. 2010; 8(Suppl. 1):111-25; Shin et al. Obstet Gynecol. Sci. 2015; 58(2):112-6). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. -
