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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome

Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Feb 28, 2023	The p.E674K variant (also known as c.2020G>A), located in coding exon 18 of the MLH1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2020. The glutamic acid at codon 674 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. In a study of whole-exome sequencing in patients with features of Cowden syndrome (CS) or Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS) and negative PTEN testing, this alteration was identified in 0/87 patients with CS or BRRS and 1/3476 patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) (Yehia L et al. PLoS Genet., 2018 04;14:e1007352). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Nov 25, 2019	This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 674 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). Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/251254 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. -

The MLH1 c.2020G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Glu674Lys. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0062% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/3-37090425-G-A), and is interpreted as uncertain in the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/405432). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

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. 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405432). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MLH1-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs755577490, gnomAD 0.007%). This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 674 of the MLH1 protein (p.Glu674Lys). -

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System

The MLH1 p.Glu674Lys variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs755577490 as With Uncertain significance allele), ClinVar (1x as a variant of uncertain significance by Invitae), and LOVD 3.0 (1x as effect unknown). The variant was not identified in the literature. The variant was identified in control databases in 1 of 246012 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000004 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). It was observed in the African population in 1 of 15302 chromosomes (freq: 0.00007), but not in the Other, Latino, European Non-Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, or South Asian populations. The p.Glu674Lys residue is not conserved in mammals and 4 of 5 computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
