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 undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 3-37025787-CT-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-37025787-CT-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 89673.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr3-37025787-CT-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu397Argfs*4) in the MLH1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MLH1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15713769, 24362816). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 10196371, 25559809). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89673). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.1190delT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 12 of the MLH1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at position 1190, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L397Rfs*4). This alteration was first reported in the literature in a female diagnosed with endometrial cancer at age 52 and colon cancer at age 55 (Millar AL et al. Hum Mol Genet.1999 May;8(5):823-9). Subsequently, this alteration was identified in a male diagnosed with gastric cancer at age 35 that was MSI-High and IHC staining showed loss of MLH1; however, the patient did not have a family history of cancer (Bacani J et al. J Mol Diagn. 2005 Oct;7:465-77). This mutation was also identified in a female diagnosed with colon cancer at age 48 who met Bethesda criteria; however, her colon tumor was MSI-Low and IHC staining showed loss of MLH1, MSH2, and MSH6 (Barnetson RA et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 2006 Jun;354:2751-63). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
