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]

This variant is considered likely 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. -

Variant summary: MLH1 c.1558+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Five predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 246094 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.1558+1G>A, has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with Lynch Syndrome (Ishida_2018), and variants at the same nucleotide position (c.1558+1G>T, c.1558+1G>C) have been associated with Lynch Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and both classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Invitae

May 23, 2023

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site is associated with altered splicing resulting in unknown protein product impact (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 220185). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 15178966, 21286823). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 13 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). -

The c.1558+1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 13 of the MLH1 gene. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration has been identified in individuals with a family history that met Amsterdam criteria for Lynch syndrome and/or showed high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) or loss of PMS2 protein expression by immunohistochemistry in their colorectal tumors (Ambry internal data). This variant was identified in 1/111 Japanese patients meeting Amsterdam criteria and was reported in a Chinese proband diagnosed with diffuse gastric cancer and colorectal cancer at the age of 77 (Ikenoue T et al. J Hum Genet, 2019 Dec;64:1187-1194; Aronson M et al. Curr Oncol, 2020 04;27:e182-e190). This variant was also identified in a proband diagnosed with early-onset MSI-H colorectal cancer and RT-PCR analysis demonstrated an insertion of 108 nucleotides from intron 13 was associated with this variant (Morak M et al. Eur J Hum Genet, 2019 12;27:1808-1820). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in a splice defect; the clinical impact of this abnormal splicing is unknown at this time (Ambry internal data). In addition to the clinical data reported 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. -
