Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points: 5P and 0B. PM2 PM5 PP3

The NM_000249.4(MLH1):​c.778C>G​(p.Leu260Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000014 in 1,426,314 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. L260F) has been classified as Pathogenic.

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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr3-37014532-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.777

The p.L260V variant (also known as c.778C>G), located in coding exon 9 of the MLH1 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 778. The leucine at codon 260 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6503 samples (13006 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.002% (greater than 65000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. Based on protein sequence alignment, this amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species.In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be borderline deleterious by MAPP-MMR in silico analyses (Chao E et al. Hum Mutat. 2008 Jun;29(6):852-60). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of p.L260V remains unclear. -
