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: MLH1 c.974G>A (p.Arg325Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the DNA mismatch repair protein, S5 domain 2-like of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.4e-05 in 251356 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in MLH1 causing Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (4.4e-05 vs 0.00071), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.974G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome, including two families in which the variant appears to segregate with disease (two affected patients per family carrying the variant; Borras_2012, Castillejo_2014). Additionally, the variant was reported in MSI-high cancers, without strong evidence for causality (Deihimi_2017, Li_2020). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Lynch Syndrome. Suggesting a benign impact, functional studies including splicing assay, MMR assay, MLH1 expression and PMS2 expression, and MLH1 and PMS2 subcellular localization show the variant to have function similar to WT (Borras_2012). These results showed no damaging effect of this variant. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 22736432, 24953332, 28591715, 30306255, 31391288, 31784484). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90456). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely 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. -
