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.1217G>A variant affects a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in an amino acid change from Ser to Asn. 4/4 in-silico tools predict benign outcome for this variant (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index). In vitro MMR assay has shown that this variant has ~75% of wild-type activity and interacts with EXO1 and PMS2 similar to wild-type in a yeast two-hybrid assay. This variant is found in 115/123542 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0009309, which exceeds the maximal expected frequency of a pathogenic allele (0.0007105). Additionally, multiple reputable diagnostic labs and databases have classified this variant as benign/neutral. Taken together, this variant was classified as benign. -

This alteration is classified as 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. -

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

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

 The MLH1 p.Ser406Asn variant was identified in 6 of 4978 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.001) from Danish, Spanish, Scottish, Korean, Italian and American individuals or families with  HNPCC, or sporadic CRC (Nilbert 2009, Martinez-Bouzas 2009, Kim 2004, Cunningham 2001, Perez-Cabornero 2013, Genuardi  1999, Barnetson 2008). Multiple functional assays  show the variant to be MMR proficient (Drost 2009, Kondo  2003, Takahashi  2007, Wanat 2007). Bioinformatic algorithms suggest the variant is a uncertain significance, with the MAPP-MMR (multivariate analysis of protein polymorphism) score of 1.07, and class 2 by IARC (Chao 2008, Pastrello 2011).   The variant was also identified in the following databases: dbSNP (ID: rs41294980) “With other allele”, ClinVar (classifed benign, reviewed by an expert panel (2013); submitters: benign by InSIGHT, Invitae, GeneDx, Ambry Genetics, Mayo Clinic; uncertain significance by Laboratory for Molecular Medicine (Partners HealthCare Personalized Medicine) and Biesecker Lab/Human Development Section (NIH); likely benign by EGL Genetic Diagnostics (Eurofins Clinical Diagnostics) and classification not provided by ITMI), UMD-LSDB (1x as neutral), Insight Colon Cancer Gene Variant Database (43x class 1), Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database, Insight Hereditary Tumors Database (44x). The variant was not identified in the COGR, Cosmic, MutDB, and Zhejiang Colon Cancer Databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 249 of 276804 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0009 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Consortium Feb 27, 2017), and was identified in the following populations: African in 5 of 23990 chromosomes (frequency: 0002), Other in 14 of 6448 chromosomes (frequency: 002), Latino in 38 of 34410 chromosomes (frequency: 001), European Non-Finnish in 172 of 126420 chromosomes (frequency: 001), Ashkenazi Jewish in 8 of 10140 chromosomes (frequency: 00085), European Finnish in 2 of 25748 chromosomes (frequency: 00008), South Asian in 10 of 30782 chromosomes (frequency: 0003). The p.Ser406 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 3 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing. However, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign. -
