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]

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 53 of the MLH1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MLH1-associated disease in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.E53K variant (also known as c.157G>A), located in coding exon 2 of the MLH1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 157. The glutamic acid at codon 53 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is denoted MLH1 c.157G>A at the cDNA level, p.Glu53Lys (E53K) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Glutamic Acid to a Lysine (GAG>AAG). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as a pathogenic or benign germline variant. MLH1 Glu53Lys was not observed in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). This variant is located in the N-terminal ATPase domain (Andersen 2012). In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether MLH1 Glu53Lys is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
