Genetic Variant MLH1:p.Asn551Ser (chr3-37040279-A-G) – ACMG Classification: Likely_benign (-3 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points: 5P and 8B. PM1PM5PP3BP6_Very_Strong

The NM_000249.4(MLH1):c.1652A>G(p.Asn551Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000682 in 1,613,194 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Benign (★★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. N551I) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points.

PM1

In a hotspot region, there are 12 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 32 uncertain in NM_000249.4

PM5

Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr3-37040279-A-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 1435528.

PP3

MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.767

BP6

Variant 3-37040279-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr3-37040279-A-G is described in ClinVar as Benign. ClinVar VariationId is 237316.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.
