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]

The c.4301A>G (p.K1434R) alteration is located in exon 13 (coding exon 12) of the MLH3 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 4301, causing the lysine (K) at amino acid position 1434 to be replaced by an arginine (R). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1434 of the MLH3 protein (p.Lys1434Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs772866061, gnomAD 0.003%). 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: 410888). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The arginine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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 MLH3 c.4301A>G; p.Lys1434Arg variant (rs772866061), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 410888). This variant is found in the non-Finnish European population with an allele frequency of 0.003% (3/113,754 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.344). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. -

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method: clinical testing

The MLH3 c.4301A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Lys1434Arg. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0026% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and has been interpreted as uncertain in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/410888/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
