RCV000615672 | SCV000731752 | pathogenic | Lynch syndrome | 2017-06-26 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This MLH1 variant is an in-frame deletion of exons 16 to 19 which is predicted t o truncate the protein by 180 amino acids (from 757 amino acids total), removing most of the C-terminal, though its exact breakpoints cannot be determined due t o limitations of the testing technology. This deletion has been reported in at l east 10 individuals with Lynch syndrome-related cancers (Taylor 2003, Baudhuin 2 005, Casey 2005, Nilbert 2009, Susswein 2015). Similar deletions within exons 16 -19 as well as larger deletions that span this region have been well reported in patients with Lynch syndrome (hgmd.cf.ac.uk, Stenson 2017). Additionally, this variant has been classified as pathogenic on September 5, 2013 by the ClinGen-a pproved InSiGHT Expert Panel (ClinVar SCV000106325.2). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Lynch syndrome in an autosomal dominant manner based on the predicted impact to the protein and multiple occur rences in affected individuals. |
