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 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: MLH1 c.2044_2045delAT (p.Met682ValfsX11) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated decay.The variant was absent in 251250 control chromosomes. c.2044_2045delAT has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome (example: Cruz-Correa_2015). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25782445). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 237329). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Met682Valfs*11) in the MLH1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MLH1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15713769, 24362816). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 25389437, 25782445). Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this MLH1 variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 1,370,736 individuals referred to our laboratory for MLH1 testing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 237329). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.2044_2045delAT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 18 of the MLH1 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 2044 to 2045, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.M682Vfs*11). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theMLH1 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and impacts the last 75 amino acids of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). This mutation has been reported in multiple hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC)/Lynch syndrome patients; several whose tumors demonstrated loss of MLH1 and PMS2 staining by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and/or had family histories meeting Amsterdam criteria (Marqués-Lespier JM et al. Gastroenterol Res Pract, 2014;2014:527946; Cruz-Correa M et al. Fam Cancer, 2015 Sep;14:415-25; Sunga AY et al. Cancer Genet, 2017 04;212-213:1-7; Ambry internal data). This alteration has been purported to be a Puerto Rican founder mutation (Rossi BM et al. BMC Cancer, 2017 Sep;17:623). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
