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]

Myriad Genetics, Inc.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. mRNA analysis has demonstrated abnormal mRNA splicing occurs [PMID: 15923275). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90029). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 18389388, 18931482, 25892863, 27601186). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 2 of the MLH1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in MLH1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15713769, 24362816). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.208-1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 3 of the MLH1 gene. This variant has been reported in multiple Lynch syndrome families (Sheng JQ et al. Cytogenet. Genome Res., 2008 Oct;122:22-7; Goldberg Y et al. Fam. Cancer, 2008 Apr;7:309-17; Zhang JX et al. World J. Gastroenterol., 2015 Apr;21:4136-49; Lagerstedt-Robinson K et al. Oncol. Rep., 2016 Nov;36:2823-2835). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -
