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]

Aug 28, 2019

Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The variant results in a shift of the reading frame, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene, and not found in general population data. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Apr 27, 2020

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 12 of the MLH1 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 28874130, 24903654) and in individuals with colorectal cancer (PMID: 29345684, 28449805). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of MLH1 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.1105dupT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 12 of the MLH1 gene, results from a duplication of T at nucleotide position 1105, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S369Ffs*7). This mutation has been observed in multiple individuals and families with features suggestive of Lynch syndrome (Kidambi TD et al. Dig. Dis. Sci. 2015 Aug;60:2463-9; Rossi BM et al. BMC Cancer 2017 Sep;17:623; Sunga AY et al. Cancer Genet. 2017 04;212-213:1-7; Roberts ME et al. Genet Med, 2018 10;20:1167-1174). Of note, this alteration is also designated as c.1105_1106insT in published literature. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser369Phefs*7) in the MLH1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MLH1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15713769, 24362816). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with a personal and/or family history of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 24903654, 28449805, 28874130). Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this MLH1 variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 1,370,736 individuals referred to our laboratory for MLH1 testing. This variant is also known as c.1105_1106insT. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405406). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
