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]

The MLH1 p.Arg10= variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the GeneInsight-COGR, UMD-LSDB, Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database, Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database, or the Insight Hereditary Tumors database. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs876660759) as "With Likely benign allele", ClinVar (classified as likely benign by GeneDx, Ambry Genetics, Color Genomics, Invitae; as uncertain significance by Integrated Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America), and Clinvitae databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 2 of 277228 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00001 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). Breakdown of the observations by population include African in 1 of 24038 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), European in 1 of 126712 chromosomes (freq: 0.00002), while the variant was not observed in the Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, or South Asian populations. The p.Arg10= variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. 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. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
