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]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The stop gained p.S131* in MLH1 (NM_000249.4) has been reported to ClinVar as Pathogenic, however details are not available for independent assessment. A different pathogenic variant having c.392C>G affecting the same p.Ser131Ter has been reported in at least four families meeting testing and/or clinical criteria for Lynch syndrome (Kurzawski 2006, Hiljadnikova-Bajro 2012) and is submitted as Pathogenic to ClinVar. The p.S131* variant is novel (not in any individuals) in gnomAD Exomes and is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. The p.S131* variant is a loss of function variant in the gene MLH1, which is intolerant of Loss of Function variants. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
