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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Jan 24, 2017	Variant identified in a genome or exome case(s) and assessed due to predicted null impact of the variant or pathogenic assertions in the literature or databases. Disclaimer: This variant has not undergone full assessment. The following are preliminary notes: This variant has been seen in multiple papers in HGMD, with the comments suggesting the variant is benign and possible protective. Classified in ClinVar as Benign by Expert panel (3 stars) and 3 other submitters (Invitae, Ambry, GeneDx). MaxMAF = .05% (high for disease prevalence) -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Mar 22, 2021	Variant summary: MLH1 c.2066A>G (p.Gln689Arg) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00028 in 253582 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00044 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in MLH1 causing Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer/Lynch syndrome (0.00028 vs 0.00071), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.2066A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer/Lynch syndrome. c.2066A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with microsatellite stable colorectal, endometrioid, rectal and breast cancers but also associated with normal IHC and also found in controls (example, Hampel_2006, Barnetson_2008, Hinrichsen_2015, Pinto_2016). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer/Lynch syndrome. Multiple publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in no or mild functional impairment in mismatch repair (MMR) activity associated with this variant and no effect on splicing (Hardt_2011, Hinrichsen_2015, Takahashi_2007, Tournier_2008). Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments (benign, n=2; likely benign, n=4; VUS, n=2). Some submitters cite overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the emerging consensus among peers supporting a neutral outcome as outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Apr 27, 2017	This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
