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 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.04359313 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 7.7, offset of -5, new splice context is: gagGTgaga. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 3-37001054-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-37001054-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 90142.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr3-37001054-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr3-37001054-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

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: 12183410, 16341550]. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant has been reported in several individuals affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 10471527, 11151427, 15849733, 27601186). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90142). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 3 of the MLH1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. Donor and acceptor splice site variants 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). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.306+1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 3 of the MLH1 gene. This mutation has been described in multiple unrelated Lynch syndrome families, including an Iranian family in which the proband was affected with colon cancer at 49 years and had a family history of colon and endometrial cancers (Planck M et al. Int. J. Cancer 1999 Oct;83(2):197-202), and a German family meeting Amsterdam Criteria, in which the proband's tumor was MSI-high (Pistorius SR et al. Int. J. Colorectal Dis. 2000 Nov;15(5-6):255-63). This alteration has also been shown to lead to aberrant splicing (Xiong HY et al. Science 2015 Jan;347(6218):1254806). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. -
