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 Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 6 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 15 uncertain in NM_000249.4

This variant is considered likely pathogenic. Functional studies indicate this variant impacts protein function [PMID: 20020535, 31784484]. This variant is expected to disrupt protein structure [Myriad internal data]. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with clinical features of gene-specific disease [PMID: 16083711, 21404117, Myriad internal data]. -

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89818). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MLH1 function (PMID: 16083711, 18999873, 20020535, 21120944, 21404117, 22753075, 31784484). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on MLH1 protein function. This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 16083711, 16216036, 21404117, 32658311; Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 550 of the MLH1 protein (p.Leu550Pro). -

The p.L550P pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1649T>C), located in coding exon 14 of the MLH1 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1649. The leucine at codon 550 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been observed in multiple individuals whose colorectal tumors demonstrated high microsatellite instability and loss of MLH1 expression on immunohistochemistry (IHC), and have family histories consistent with Lynch syndrome (Ambry internal data; Raevaara TE et al. Gastroenterology. 2005 Aug;129:537-49; Drost M et al. Hum. Mutat. 2010 Mar;31:247-53; Kansikas M et al. Hum. Mutat. 2011 Jan;32:107-15; Hardt K et al. Fam. Cancer. 2011 Jun;10:273-84). This variant co-segregated with disease in one family tested in our laboratory (Ambry internal data). In multiple functional studies, this alteration has been shown to result in reduced MMR activity, reduced protein expression, and deficient interaction with PMS2 (Raevaara TE et al. Gastroenterology. 2005 Aug;129:537-49; Drost M et al. Hum. Mutat. 2010 Mar;31:247-53; Kansikas M et al. Hum. Mutat. 2011 Jan;32:107-15; Hardt K et al. Fam. Cancer. 2011 Jun;10:273-84; Andersen SD et al. Hum. Mutat. 2012 Dec;33:1647-55). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
