Genes affected

MLH3 (HGNC:7128): (mutL homolog 3) This gene is a member of the MutL-homolog (MLH) family of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. MLH genes are implicated in maintaining genomic integrity during DNA replication and after meiotic recombination. The protein encoded by this gene functions as a heterodimer with other family members. Somatic mutations in this gene frequently occur in tumors exhibiting microsatellite instability, and germline mutations have been linked to hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer type 7 (HNPCC7). Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified, but the full-length nature of only two transcript variants has been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 28 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

The p.Q24* variant (also known as c.70C>T), located in coding exon 1 of the MLH3 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 70. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 1. The predicted stop codon occurs in the 5&rsquo; end of the MLH3 gene. Premature termination codons in the 5&rsquo; end of a gene have been reported to escape nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and/or lead to re-initiation (Rivas et al. Science. 2015 May 8;348(6235):666-9; Lindeboom et al. Nat Genet. 2016 Oct;48(10):1112-8; Rhee et al. Sci Rep. 2017 May 10;7(1):1653). The exact functional effect of this alteration is unknown. The evidence for this gene-disease relationship is also limited; therefore, the clinical significance of this alteration is unclear. -
