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]

Colorectal cancer, hereditary nonpolyposis, type 2 Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingSt. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research HospitalJul 11, 2022The MLH1 c.2060G>A (p.Arg687Gln) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.014% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a deleterious effect on protein function, but to our knowledge this prediction has not been confirmed by functional studies. This variant has been reported in individuals with colorectal cancer (PMID: 32973888, 33672345). Another missense variant at the same amino acid residue, Arg687Trp, has been reported in individuals with Lynch syndrome and has been determined to be pathogenic by the International Society for Gastrointestinal Hereditary Tumours (InSiGHT). In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthMar 30, 2023This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 687 of the MLH1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with colorectal cancer (PMID: 32973888). This variant has been identified in 3/251180 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different variant affecting the same codon, c.2059C>T (p.Arg687Trp), is considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 90014), suggesting that this position is important for the protein function. The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 18, 2023The p.R687Q variant (also known as c.2060G>A), located in coding exon 18 of the MLH1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2060. The arginine at codon 687 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was reported in a 46-year-old male diagnosed with colorectal cancer (Xu Y et al. Front Genet. 2020 Aug;11:991). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthApr 10, 2023This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 687 of the MLH1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 3/251180 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different variant affecting the same codon, c.2059C>T (p.Arg687Trp), is considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 90014), suggesting that this position is important for the protein function. The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
not provided Uncertain:1

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 08, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 687 of the MLH1 protein (p.Arg687Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs587781310, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MLH1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 140838). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MLH1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg687 amino acid residue in MLH1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11139242, 11748856, 11920650, 14762794, 17510385, 19697156, 21404117, 24440087, 26485756). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
