This variant is denoted MLH1 c.1823C>T at the cDNA level, p.Ala608Val (A608V) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Alanine to a Valine (GCT>GTT). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. MLH1 Ala608Val was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). Since Alanine and Valine share similar properties, this is considered a conservative amino acid substitution. MLH1 Ala608Val occurs at a position that is conserved across species and is located in the regions of interaction with PMS2, MLH3, PMS1, and EXO1 (Raevaara 2005, Kansikas 2011, Andersen 2012). In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether MLH1 Ala608Val is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
The MLH1 c.1823C>T (p.Ala608Val) variant has only a brief report in the published literature in an individual affected with melanoma (PMID: 29684080 (2018)). This variant was also identified in a reportedly healthy individual (PMID: 36243179 (2022)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/251390 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is deleterious or benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2

The p.A608V variant (also known as c.1823C>T), located in coding exon 16 of the MLH1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1823. The alanine at codon 608 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with similar properties. A different amino acid change at the same position (p.A608D), has been identified in Chinese and Norwegian Lynch syndrome kindreds (Sheng JQ et al, Cytogenet. Genome Res. 2008; 122(1):22-7; Sjursen W et al, J. Med. Genet. 2010 Sep; 47(9):579-85). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Colorectal cancer, hereditary nonpolyposis, type 2 Uncertain:1

Lynch syndrome Uncertain:1
This missense variant replaces alanine with valine at codon 608 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). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MLH1-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/251390 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. -
