Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000249.4(MLH1):c.860dup(p.Asn287LysfsTer20) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. P285P) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

Submissions by phenotype
Colorectal cancer, hereditary nonpolyposis, type 2 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Myriad Genetics, Inc. | Jul 18, 2023 | This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a frameshift predicted to result in premature protein truncation. - |
Lynch syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, reviewed by expert panel | research | International Society for Gastrointestinal Hereditary Tumours (InSiGHT) | Sep 05, 2013 | Coding sequence variation resulting in a stop codon - |
not provided Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | GeneDx | Mar 20, 2018 | This duplication of one nucleotide in MLH1 is denoted c.860dupA at the cDNA level and p.Asn287LysfsX20 (N287KfsX20) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the base that is duplicated in braces, is CAAAA[A]CACA. The duplication causes a frameshift which changes an Asparagine to a Lysine at codon 287, and creates a premature stop codon at position 20 of the new reading frame. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. MLH1 c.860dupA has been reported at least twice in association with Lynch syndrome (Domingo 2004, Niessen 2006). We consider this variant to be pathogenic. - |
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Mar 14, 2019 | The c.860dupA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the MLH1 gene, results from a duplication of A at nucleotide position 860, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.N287Kfs*20). This mutation has been identified in patients with HNPCC, including one with MSI-H colorectal cancer at 46 whose tumor demonstrated loss of MLH1 protein expression by IHC and whose family history met Amsterdam criteria II (Domingo E et al. J. Med. Genet. 2004 Sep;41:664-8; Niessen RC et al. Gut 2006 Dec;55:1781-8). Of note, this alteration is designated as "861 insertion A" and "c.860_861insA" in published literature. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. - |
