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 c.221A>T; p.Asp74Val variant (rs751894165, ClinVar Variation ID: 405401), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature in MLH1-related conditions. This variant is only observed on one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.624). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.D74V variant (also known as c.221A>T), located in coding exon 3 of the MLH1 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 221. The aspartic acid at codon 74 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
