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 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 27 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.

Coding sequence variation resulting in a stop codon -

Aug 21, 2018

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: MLH1 c.2093C>G (p.Ser698X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g. c.2141G>A (p.Trp714X), c.2142G>A (p.Trp714X), c.2179_2182delCACA (p.His727fsX55)). The variant was absent in 245618 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2093C>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome (Rossi 2017, Sunga 2017). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Jun 13, 2023

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 18 of the MLH1 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal in the last coding exon. This variant is predicted to escape nonsense-mediated decay and be expressed as a truncated protein. Although functional studies have not been reported, this variant is expected to disrupt the PMS2/MLH3/PMS1 interacting domain (PMID: 12799449, 16338176, 20533529). This variant has been reported in a family affected with Lynch syndrome in El Salvador (PMID: 28874130). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of MLH1 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.S698* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2093C>G), located in coding exon 18 of the MLH1 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 2093. This changes the amino acid from a serine to a stop codon within coding exon 18. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theMLH1 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 59 amino acids of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and a significant portion of the protein is affected (Ambry internal data). This alteration has been reported in one Lynch syndrome family (Sunga AY et al. Cancer Genet, 2017 Apr;212-213:1-7). Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser698*) in the MLH1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 59 amino acid(s) of the MLH1 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 28449805, 28874130). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90040). This variant disrupts a region of the MLH1 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Tyr750*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10422993, 16338176, 20533529). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
