Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000249.4(MLH1):​c.793delC​(p.Arg265fs) variant causes a frameshift, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

MLH1 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 3-37017507-TC-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-37017507-TC-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 218027.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	research	Mayo Clinic Laboratories, Mayo Clinic	-	- -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Aug 30, 2023	The MLH1 c.793del (p.Arg265Valfs*3) variant alters the translational reading frame of the MLH1 mRNA and is predicted to cause the premature termination of MLH1 protein synthesis. This variant has not been reported in individuals with MLH1-related conditions in the published literature. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg265Valfs*3) in the MLH1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in MLH1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15713769, 24362816). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MLH1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). -

The c.793delC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the MLH1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 793, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.R265Vfs*3). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
