Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -1 ACMG points: 1P and 2B. PM2_SupportingBP4BP7

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The MLH1 c.2040C>T variant is predicted as a synonymous variant, p.(Cys680=). It is extremely rare in gnomAD v2.1.1 using the non-cancer dataset and in gnomAD v4.1 (<1 in 50,000 alleles: <0,002%). It is not predicted to affect splicing (predictions from http://priors.hci.utah.edu/PRIORS and SpliceAI). Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign.

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]
