Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points: 4P and 9B. PM1PM5BP4BP6_Very_Strong
The NM_000249.4(MLH1):c.1853A>G(p.Lys618Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000322 in 1,614,042 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. K618A) has been classified as Benign.
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]
Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points.
PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 6 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 16 uncertain in NM_000249.4
PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr3-37047640-A-TTCTT is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 89908.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.3226472).
BP6
Variant 3-37047640-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr3-37047640-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 89907.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr3-37047640-A-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_benign]. Variant chr3-37047640-A-G is described in Lovd as [Benign].

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. -
