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 17 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PP3: No computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, but strongly conserved according to phyloP
• PP5: Variant 3-37040296-TAAATCA-ATTT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-37040296-TAAATCA-ATTT is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 89824.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.

Lynch syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, reviewed by expert panel	research	International Society for Gastrointestinal Hereditary Tumours (InSiGHT)	Sep 05, 2013	Variant causes splicing aberration, >2 MSI-H, segregation with disease & <0.01% in controls -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health	Aug 16, 2023	This variant disrupts a canonical splice site and is predicted to result in abnormal splicing. Aberrant splicing and/or loss of function is an established mechanism of disease. This prediction has been confirmed by an RNA splicing assay (PMID: 9245993). This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 22864660, 23329266, 9245993, 18566915). This variant is absent from or rare in large population databases, including the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). -

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: 15300854]. -

This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 22864660, 23329266, 9245993, 18566915). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89824). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 14 of the MLH1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. Experimental studies have shown that this variant disrupts mRNA splicing (PMID: 9245993). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. 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). -
