Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV001356234 SCV001551348 likely pathogenic Carcinoma of colon no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The p.Ala111Val variant has been reported in the literature in 4/594 proband chromosomes from individuals with HNPCC or suspected HNPCC, all of whom met either the Amsterdam criteria II or modified HNPCC criteria. It was not reported in any of the 800 control chromosomes evaluated (Caldes 2002, Chao 2008, Kurzawski 2006, Nomura 2000, Takahashi 2007). In one of these studies, all colorectal tumors belonging to a family with the variant had microsatellite instability at one of the loci evaluated (Caldes 2002). In a functional study that examined the MMR repair ability of the variant, the mutant was found to be have severely compromised repair capacity compared to the wild-type (only 25%). MLH1 expression was found to be between 25-75% (Takahashi 2007). This variant is listed in the dbSNP database (ID#:rs28897759) as coming from a clinical source, but no frequency information was provided, and so the prevalence of this variant in the population is not known. It is not listed in the LOVD or UMD databases. The p.Ala111 residue is conserved across mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen, SIFT, AlignGVGD) suggest that the p.Ala111Val variant may impact the protein. However, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. In addition, this individual was shown to have MLH1 deficient tumour by IHC, increasing the likelihood this variant may have clinical significance. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more pathogenic role for this variant. This variant is classified as predicted pathogenic.
