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]

The p.A282T variant (also known as c.844G>A), located in coding exon 10 of the MLH1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 844. The alanine at codon 282 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was reported once in a cohort of patients with breast and/or colorectal cancer in a Turkish population (Akcay IM et al. Int J Cancer, 2021 Jan;148:285-295). This variant was also observed in 1/3251 individuals who met eligibility criteria for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (Lerner-Ellis J et al. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol, 2021 Mar;147:871-879). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This missense variant replaces alanine with threonine at codon 282 of the MLH1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MLH1-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/251474 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The MLH1 p.Ala282Thr variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the UMD-LSDB database. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs774689817) as "With Uncertain significance allele", and in ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae and Color). The variant was identified in control databases in 1 of 246248 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000004 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the Latino population in 1 of 33582 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), while the variant was not observed in the African, Other, European, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, or South Asian populations. The p.Ala282 residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms however four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
