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]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp597*) 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 present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MLH1-related conditions. 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 480903). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.W597* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1791G>A), located in coding exon 16 of the MLH1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1791. This changes the amino acid from a tryptophan to a stop codon within coding exon 16. While this exact alteration has not been reported in the literature, a different alteration, c.1791delG, resulting in the same stop codon (p.W597*) has been detected in a French family affected with Lynch syndrome (Bonadona et al. JAMA. 2011 Jun 8;305(22):2304-10). 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. -
