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 Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 9 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 3-37050559-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-37050559-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1787195.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Colorectal cancer, hereditary nonpolyposis, type 2 Pathogenic:1

Jul 25, 2023

Myriad Genetics, Inc.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a termination codon and is predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the MLH1 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Lys751Serfs*3) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8797773, 18566915, 18931482, 24802709, 27295708). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1787195). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MLH1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser726*) in the MLH1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 31 amino acid(s) of the MLH1 protein. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1

Jan 23, 2020

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.S726* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2177C>A), located in coding exon 19 of the MLH1 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 2177. This changes the amino acid from a serine to a stop codon within coding exon 19. 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. -
