Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points: 3P and 8B. PM1PP3BP6_Very_Strong

The NM_000249.4(MLH1):c.1733A>G(p.Glu578Gly) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000545 in 1,613,966 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Benign (★★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E578D) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Nov 16, 2023	This variant is considered benign. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 27363726]. This variant has been observed in conjunction with multiple pathogenic variants, reducing the likelihood this variant itself is pathogenic. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Apr 27, 2017	This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Aug 12, 2016	Variant identified in a genome or exome case(s) and assessed due to predicted null impact of the variant or pathogenic assertions in the literature or databases. Disclaimer: This variant has not undergone full assessment. The following are preliminary notes: Several publications in HGMD describe as nonpathogenic based on functional characterizations -
Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Feb 10, 2020	Variant summary: MLH1 c.1733A>G (p.Glu578Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the DNA mismatch repair protein, mlh1, C-terminal domain (IPR032189) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00012 in 251238 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00024 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in MLH1 causing Lynch Syndrome (0.00012 vs 0.00071), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1733A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with features similar to but not fulfilling the classic diagnostic criteria associated with Lynch syndrome (example, Tanngergard_1995). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Lynch Syndrome. At-least one co-occurrence with another pathogenic MLH1 variant has been reported in a family with Lynch syndrome (Wagner_2003, MLH1 deletion of exons 1-13), providing additional evidence for a benign role. Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function with contradictory findings across dominant mutator effect (DME) assays in yeast model systems, in-vitro MMR activity, and protein-protein interaction with hPMS2 and hMRE11 (example, Shimodaira_1998, Guerrette_1999, Kondo_2003, Ou_2007, Takahashi_2007, Ali_2012). Subsequent reports evaluating expression, stability and MMR activity in conjunction with clinical data have demonstrated no damaging effect of this variant resulting in a categorical classification as a neutral MLH1 variant (example, Vo_2005, Andersen_2012, Hinrichsen_2013). Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments as benign/likely benign (n=4), and VUS (n=3). Additionally an expert panel (InSight) has classified this variant as benign before 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
