Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5

The NM_000249.4(MLH1):c.1964T>A(p.Ile655Asn) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 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. I655V) has been classified as Likely benign.

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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 8 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 3 benign, 14 uncertain in NM_000249.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr3-37048584-T-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The p.I655N variant (also known as c.1964T>A), located in coding exon 17 of the MLH1 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 1964. The isoleucine at codon 655 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in conjunction with a pathogenic mutation in MSH2 in a Latvian individual suspected of HNPCC and having a personal history of colorectal cancer (Irmejs A et al. Anticancer Res.; 27:653-8). 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 0.001% (greater than 150000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be borderline deleteriuos 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 this alteration remains unclear. -
