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]

Variant summary: MLH1 c.682C>A affects a non-conserved nucleotide and results in a replacement of a Leucine (L) with a Methionine (M). Both residues are medium size and hydrophobic, therefore this Leucine to Methionine substitution does not alter the physico-chemical properties of the protein. 3/4 in silico tools predict the variant to be disease causing. It was observed in the large and broad cohorts of the ExAC project at an allele frequency of 0.0026% which does not exceed the maximal allele frequency of a disease causing MLH1 allele (0.07%) to exclude pathogenicity. To our knowledge, the variant has not been reported in affected patients from the literature and in vitro/vivo studies to assess the functional impact of the variant have not been published either. Clinical diagnostic centers classify variant as Uncertain via ClinVar (without evidence to independently evaluate). Due to the lack of clinical and functional data, the variant was classified as a variant of uncertain significance until more information becomes available. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces leucine with methionine at codon 228 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. In a large breast cancer case-control study, this variant has been reported in 9/60466 cases and 1/53461 unaffected controls (PMID: 33471991). This variant has been identified in 7/282172 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method: clinical testing

The MLH1 c.682C>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Leu228Met. This variant has been reported in and individual with a personal and/or family history of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (Table S3, Lesueur et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34359559). It has also been reported in a control individual from a melanoma cohort study (Supplement, Pritchard et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29641532). This variant is reported in 0.0054% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations regarding its pathogenicity in ClinVar, ranging from likely benign to uncertain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/184050/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 228 of the MLH1 protein (p.Leu228Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs751628735, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MLH1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 184050). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MLH1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). 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. -
