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]

Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System	-	The MLH1 p.Glu460Ala variant was identified in 6 of 2074 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.003) from individuals or families with Lynch syndrome, colorectal cancer, oligodendroglioma or glioblastoma and was not identified in 1440 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Christensen 2008, Lagerstedt-Robinson 2016, Therkildsen 2015). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs202038499) as "With other allele", ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Invitae, Ambry Genetics, GeneDx, and three other submitters; and as uncertain significance by two submitters), UMD-LSDB (1x unclassified variant), and in Insight Hereditary Tumors Database (8x). The variant was not identified in COGR, Cosmic, MutDB, Zhejiang University Database, or Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database. The variant was identified in control databases in 39 of 277072 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: European in 38 of 126582 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003) and Finnish in 1 of 25794 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), while the variant was not observed in the African, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Latino, Other, or South Asian populations. The p.Glu460 residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. The variant has been identified in patients with co-occurring pathogenic MSH2 variants (c.1277-?_1386+?del and p.Met663fs), increasing the likelihood that the p.Glu460Ala variant does not have clinical significance (Therkildsen 2015, Kansikas 2011, Christensen 2009) In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Oct 26, 2016	Variant identified in a genome or exome case(s) and assessed due to predicted null impact of the variant or pathogenic assertions in the literature or databases. Disclaimer: This variant has not undergone full assessment. The following are preliminary notes: Variant has been reported in 2 individuals with CRC who were both compound het for other MSH2 frameshift variants that segregated in the family. It is not present in ExAC. Variant classified in ClinVar as Likely Benign by Ambry, GeneDx, Invitae, and as VUS by U Wash (1 star). Variant is in a poorly conserved region. MaxMAF = 0.04% in ExAC (high for disease prevalence). -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Nov 07, 2023	Variant summary: MLH1 c.1379A>C (p.Glu460Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00016 in 250798 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in MLH1 causing Lynch Syndrome (0.00016 vs 0.00071), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1379A>C has been reported in the literature in individuals with cancer (Lagerstedt-Robinson_2016, Christensen_2008, Kansikas_2011, Delahunty_2022, Jarhelle_2019, Pal_2012, Therkildsen_2015, Svensson_2022, Jones_2015, Shirts_2016), however these report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Lynch Syndrome. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported (MSH2, Exon 8 del; MSH2, p.M663fs), providing supporting evidence for a benign role (Kansikas_2011). At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. These results showed no effect on protein expression levels or repair efficiency (Christensen_2009). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25648859, 35263119, 21120944, 35430768, 25877891, 27601186, 26845104, 18547406, 31882575, 19697156, 23047549). 12 submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014; two submitters classified the variant as a variant of uncertain significance, while 10 submitters classified it as likely benign/benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
