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 Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 464 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 3-36993579-T-TG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-36993579-T-TG is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 439177.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.34dupG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 1 of the MLH1 gene, results from a duplication of G at nucleotide position 34, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.D12Gfs*19). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
