Genes affected
MLH3 (HGNC:7128): (mutL homolog 3) This gene is a member of the MutL-homolog (MLH) family of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. MLH genes are implicated in maintaining genomic integrity during DNA replication and after meiotic recombination. The protein encoded by this gene functions as a heterodimer with other family members. Somatic mutations in this gene frequently occur in tumors exhibiting microsatellite instability, and germline mutations have been linked to hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer type 7 (HNPCC7). Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified, but the full-length nature of only two transcript variants has been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.C208Y variant (also known as c.623G>A), located in coding exon 1 of the MLH3 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 623. The cysteine at codon 208 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration was identified in 1/1358 non-cancer control individuals and in 0/57 cases, in a study looking at cancer predisposition mutations in patients with cutaneous melanoma and a history of at least two additional non-cutaneous melanoma primary cancers (Pritchard AL et al. PLoS One, 2018 Apr;13:e0194098). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 208 of the MLH3 protein (p.Cys208Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs759892263, gnomAD 0.002%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MLH3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 544280). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -
