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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome

Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Feb 15, 2023	This missense variant replaces tyrosine with asparagine at codon 126 of the MLH1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). A functional study has shown that this variant does not affect MLH1 protein function in a methylation tolerance-based assay (PMID: 30998989). This variant has been observed in an individual affected with colorectal cancer and a Lynch syndrome family (PMID: 18561205, 24383517). This variant has been identified in 11/282808 chromosomes 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jun 03, 2024	The p.Y126N variant (also known as c.376T>A), located in coding exon 4 of the MLH1 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 376. The tyrosine at codon 126 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported as an uncertain variant in a proband diagnosed with colon cancer at age <50 years, whose family history met Amsterdam II criteria. In addition, the proband's tumor was MSI-H and demonstrated loss of MLH1 by immunohistochemistry (IHC; Stigliano V et al. J Exp Clin Cancer Res. 2014 Jan; 33:1). This alteration was reported in another proband with a personal history of endometrial cancer, undergoing genetic testing due to a clinical suspicion of Lynch syndrome. The proband's tumor was MSI-H and demonstrated loss of MLH1 and PMS2 by IHC (Liccardo R et al. Int J Mol Med, 2022 Jun;49:). However, this variant has been detected in multiple individuals with no reported features of Lynch syndrome. This amino acid position is 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. -

This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 126 of the MLH1 protein (p.Tyr126Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs200076893, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 18561205, 24383517, 30998989). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90184). An algorithm developed specifically for the MLH1 gene suggests that this missense change is likely to be deleterious (PMID: 22290698). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect MLH1 function (PMID: 30998989). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
