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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 2 benign, 17 uncertain in NM_000249.4
• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_000249.4. Strenght limited to Supporting due to length of the change: 1aa.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Aug 25, 2023	The c.1288_1290delGAG variant (also known as p.E430del) is located in coding exon 12 of the MLH1 gene. This variant results from an in-frame GAG deletion at nucleotide positions 1288 to 1290. This results in the in-frame deletion of a glutamic acid at codon 430. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be neutral by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Apr 24, 2023	This variant causes an in-frame deletion of one amino acid in the Exo1 interacting domain of the MLH1 protein. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MLH1-related disorders in the literature. This variant has not been identified 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. -

This in-frame deletion of three nucleotides in MLH1 is denoted c.1288_1290delGAG at the cDNA level and p.Glu430del (E430del) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the bases that are deleted in brackets, is TGAG[delGAG]ATGC. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. MLH1 c.1288_1290delGAG was not observed in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). This deletion of a single Glutamic Acid residue is located in the region of interaction with EXO1 (Andersen 2012). In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function. Since in-frame deletions may or may not inhibit proper protein functioning, the clinical significance of this finding remains unclear at this time and we consider MLH1 Glu430del to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

This variant, c.1288_1290del, results in the deletion of 1 amino acid(s) of the MLH1 protein (p.Glu430del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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: 421629). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -
