Genes affected

MLH3 (HGNC:7128): (mutL homolog 3) This gene is a member of the MutL-homolog (MLH) family of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. MLH genes are implicated in maintaining genomic integrity during DNA replication and after meiotic recombination. The protein encoded by this gene functions as a heterodimer with other family members. Somatic mutations in this gene frequently occur in tumors exhibiting microsatellite instability, and germline mutations have been linked to hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer type 7 (HNPCC7). Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified, but the full-length nature of only two transcript variants has been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asn932Trpfs*13) in the MLH3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. However, the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in MLH3 cause disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs754716792, gnomAD 0.002%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MLH3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 419010). 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. -

The c.2793_2794delGA variant, located in coding exon 1 of the MLH3 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 2793 to 2794, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.N932Wfs*13). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The evidence for this gene-disease relationship is limited; therefore, the clinical significance of this alteration is unclear. -

The c.2793_2794delGA variant in the MLH3 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The c.2793_2794delGA variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Asparagine 932, changes this amino acid to a Tryptophan residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 13 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Asn932TrpfsX13. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The c.2793_2794delGA variant is observed in 2/111,646 (0.002%) alleles from individuals of non-Finnish European background in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). We interpret c.2793_2794delGA as a variant of uncertain significance. -
