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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 16 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 41 uncertain in NM_000249.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.971
• PP5: Variant 3-37000974-T-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-37000974-T-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 525711.

Colorectal cancer, hereditary nonpolyposis, type 2 Pathogenic:1

Jul 12, 2023

Myriad Genetics, Inc.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered likely pathogenic. Functional studies indicate this variant impacts protein function [PMID: 15475387]. -

Lynch syndrome Uncertain:1

Oct 06, 2023

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces valine with glutamic acid at codon 76 of the MLH1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). A functional study has shown that this variant results in a significant decrease in mismatch repair activity (PMID: 15475387). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MLH1-related disorders in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Uncertain:1

Aug 29, 2017

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. An experimental study showed that this missense change leads to an intermediate mutator phenotype in a yeast model (PMID: 15475387). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MLH1-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces valine with glutamic acid at codon 76 of the MLH1 protein (p.Val76Glu). The valine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between valine and glutamic acid. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1

Apr 09, 2024

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.V76E variant (also known as c.227T>A), located in coding exon 3 of the MLH1 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 227. The valine at codon 76 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration is identified in an individual whose family history meets Amsterdam criteria; however, the colorectal tumors for two individuals were microsatellite stable (Ambry internal data). This alteration co-segregated with disease in one family (Ambry internal data). In a hybrid yeast-human mutator experiment, this variant demonstrated a substantial loss (>67%) of mismatch repair function (Ellison AR et al. Nucleic Acids Res., 2004 Oct;32:5321-38). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
