Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM4_Supporting PP5_Moderate

The NM_000249.4(MLH1):​c.245_247del​(p.Thr82del) variant causes a inframe deletion change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T81T) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 6 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 15 uncertain in NM_000249.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_000249.4. Strenght limited to Supporting due to length of the change: 1aa.
• PP5: Variant 3-37000987-CACT-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-37000987-CACT-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 185633.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The c.245_247delCTA variant (also known as p.T82del) located in coding exon 3 of the MLH1 gene. This variant results from an in-frame deletion of 3 nucleotides at positions 245 to 247 and the removal of a highly-conserved threonine residue at codon 82. T82 is an essential residue for establishing the nucleotide binding pocket and stabilization through hydrogen bonds to both the adenine base and the second phosphate of the bound nucleotide (Borrs E, Hum. Mutat. 2012 Nov; 33(11):1576-88). This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6503 samples (13006 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.004% (greater than 25,000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort (includes this individual). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
