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]

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

MLH1 NM_000249:c.3G>T has a 96.4% probability of pathogenicity based on combining prior probability from public data with a likelihood ratio of 26.5 to 1, generated from evidence of seeing this as a somatic mutation in a tumor with loss of heterozygosity at the MLH1 locus.
