Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PVS1 PP5

The NM_000249.4(MLH1):​c.322_335delAGCCATGTGGCTCA​(p.Ser108CysfsTer9) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. S108S) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Ser108CysfsX9 deletion variant has not been previously reported in the literature or in public databases. This deletion is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 108 and leads to a premature stop codon 9 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function of the MLH1 gene is the type of DNA alteration that is expected to cause Lynch syndrome. In summary, based on the above information, this deletion variant is classified as pathogenic. -
