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]

Myriad Genetics, Inc.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered likely pathogenic. This variant is expected to disrupt protein structure [Myriad internal data]. Functional studies indicate this variant impacts protein function [PMID: 30504929, 31784484]. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with clinical features of gene-specific disease [PMID: 18561205, 21404117]. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 619 of the MLH1 protein (p.Ala619Pro). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 10612827, 18561205, 21404117, 21520333, 23729658, 28514183). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89909). 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. 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. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.A619P variant (also known as c.1855G>C), located in coding exon 16 of the MLH1 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 1855. The alanine at codon 619 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported in one German family meeting Amsterdam II criteria; the index case was diagnosed with MSI-H colorectal cancer at age 41 (Hardt K, Fam. Cancer 2011 Jun; 10(2):273-84). The A619 residue is located in a structured region with known function, and internal structural analysis indicates that a proline substitution is expected to result in a significant decrease in structural stability (Ambry internal data; Dombrovsky L et al. http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?structureId=3RBN). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be benign <span style="background-color:initial">by PolyPhen <span style="background-color:initial">but deleterious by SIFT in silico<span style="background-color:initial"> analyses. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by MAPP-MMR in silico analyses (Chao E et al. Hum Mutat. 2008 Jun;29(6):852-60). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
