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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys196Asnfs*6) 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 present in population databases (rs35847123, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 12624141, 21642682, 25117503). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90287). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.588delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 7 of the MLH1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 588, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K196Nfs*6). In addition, this deletion of the last base pair of coding exon 7 is likely to have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. This mutation has been reported in multiple unrelated French families diagnosed with HNPCC/Lynch syndrome, and it was presumed to be disruptive to the native splice site; however, experimental evidence for abnormal splicing was not available (Parc Y et al. J. Med. Genet. 2003 Mar;40(3):208-13; Bonadona V et al. JAMA. 2011 Jun 8;305(22):2304-10). This alteration has also been reported in conjunction with a monoallelic MUTYH mutation in an individual with colorectal and prostate cancers, which both displayed lack of MLH1 and PMS2 protein expression by IHC (Rosty C et al. Fam. Cancer 2014 Dec;13(4):573-82; Win AK et al. Fam. Cancer 2015 Dec;14(4):575-83). In addition to being identified as germline in individuals meeting Amsterdam criteria, this mutation has been identified to be of somatic origin in conjunction with second MLH1 pathogenic mutations in multiple Lynch syndrome-related tumors (Sourrouille I et al. Fam. Cancer, 2013 Mar;12:27-33; Haraldsdottir S et al. Nat Commun, 2017 05;8:14755; Golubicki M et al. Cancers (Basel), 2021 Mar;13; Ambry internal data). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation, aberrant splicing, or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -
