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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.27).
• BP6: Variant 3-36993540-G-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr3-36993540-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 419858.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=3, Likely_benign=2}.

The c.-8G>T variant is located in the 5' untranslated region (5’ UTR) of the MLH1 gene. This variant results from a G to T substitution 8 nucleotides upstream from the first translated codon. This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6503 samples (13006 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.002% (greater than 65,000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of c.-8G>T remains unclear. -
