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 Benign. Variant got -11 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.88).
• BP6: Variant 3-37025969-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr3-37025969-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 237311.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.696 with no splicing effect.

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

PM2_Supporting, BP4, BP7 c.1371A>G, located in exon 12 of the MLH1 gene, is predicted to result in no amino acid change, p.(Glu457=) (BP7). It is not present in the population database gnomAD v2.1.1, non cancer dataset (PM2_Supporting). The SpliceAI algorithm predicts no significant impact on splicing (BP4). To our knowledge, neither relevant clinical data nor functional studies have been reported for this variant. It has been reported in the ClinVar database (1x benign, 4x likely benign) but it has not been reported in the LOVD or InSiGHT databases. Based on currently available information, the variant c.1371A>G should be considered a likely benign variant. -

GeneDx

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
