Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5
The NM_000249.4(MLH1):c.1238_1239delCA(p.Thr413ArgfsTer3) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as no classifications from unflagged records (no stars). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
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.1238_1239delCA, p.Thr412ArgfsX3 variant has not been reported in the literature nor previously identified by our laboratory. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 413 and leads to a premature stop codon, 3 codons downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function variants are an established mechanism of disease for the MLH1 gene. In summary, based on the above information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
