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]

Variant summary: The MLH1 c.1269G>A (p.Arg423Arg) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in a synonymous change that 5/5 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. ESE finder predicts that this variant may affect ESE binding sites. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. This variant was found in 8/121400 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000659, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic MLH1 variant (0.0007105). A publication cites the variant in 2 pts diagnosed with ovarian cancer, however, limited information is provided (ie, no co-occurrence or cosegregation data). An internal LCA sample reports the variant to co-olccur with two MUTYH DVs, c.536A>G and c.1187G>A. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as likely benign/benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as "likely benign." -

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Significance: Likely benign
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
