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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The MLH1 c.152T>A (p.Val51Asp) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with Lynch Syndrome (PMIDs: 25430799 (2015) and 26380867 (2015)). A functional study found that this variant was damaging to protein function (PMID: 15475387 (2004)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

MLH1-related disorder Pathogenic:1

Jun 13, 2024

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The MLH1 c.152T>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Val51Asp. This variant has been reported in individuals with Lynch syndrome (Goldberg et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25430799; Altarescu et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 2638086) Experimental studies suggest this variant impacts protein function (Ellison AR et al 2004. PubMed ID: 15475387; Altarescu et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 2638086). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. This variant has been classified as likely pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/918697/). This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1

Aug 01, 2023

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 918697). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MLH1 function (PMID: 15475387, 26380867; external communication). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MLH1 protein function. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Lynch syndrome and/or colon cancer (PMID: 25430799, 26380867; external communication). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 51 of the MLH1 protein (p.Val51Asp). -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1

Mar 25, 2022

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces valine with aspartic acid at codon 51 of the MLH1 protein. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may have deleterious impact on the protein function. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. Functional studies have shown that this variant causes a significant defect in mismatch repair activity (personal communications with N. de Wind, Leiden University Medical Center and PMID: 30504929). This variant has been reported in an unaffected individual and in this individual's father and paternal grandmother, who are affected with colon, pancreatic, and gastric cancers (PMID: 26380867). This variant has also been reported in an individual affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 25430799). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
