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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoJun 28, 2023In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 18561205 (2008), 30256826 (2018)), colon cancer (PMID: 23741719 (2013)), and breast cancer (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/MLH1)). Functional studies have reported this variant does not have a damaging effect on protein function (PMID: 17510385 (2007), 18561205 (2008), 30998989 (2019)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000008 (2/251418 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1Benign:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 05, 2024The p.R474Q variant (also known as c.1421G>A), located in coding exon 13 of the MLH1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1421. The arginine at codon 474 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been identified in a proband who met Amsterdam II criteria for Lynch syndrome (Martin-Morales L et al. PLoS One, 2018 Sep;13:e0203885). In addition, this alteration has been reported in an individual either fulfilling Amsterdam II criteria or having a tumor demonstrating microsatellite instability (Tournier I et al. Hum Mutat, 2008 Dec;29:1412-24). This alteration was detected in a patient with colon cancer who had at least two family members with colorectal and/or endometrial cancer in two generations (Stojcev Z et al. Acta Biochim Pol, 2013 Jun;60:195-8). However, in multiple assays testing MLH1 function, this variant showed functionally normal results (Takahashi M et al. Cancer Res, 2007 May;67:4595-604; Borràs E et al. Hum Mutat, 2012 Nov;33:1576-88; Bouvet D et al. Gastroenterology, 2019 Aug;157:421-431; Rath A et al. Hum Mutat, 2022 Dec;43:2295-2307). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 28, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 474 of the MLH1 protein (p.Arg474Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs63751083, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 18383312, 18561205, 22736432). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89737). 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%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect MLH1 function (PMID: 17510385, 18561205, 22736432, 30998989). 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. -
