RCV004018116 | SCV004848305 | likely pathogenic | Lynch syndrome | 2019-10-14 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.Asp484ValfsX7 variant in MLH1 has been previously reported in at least 1 individual with Lynch syndrome (Sjursen 2016) and was absent from large population studies. It is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 484 and leads to a premature termination codon 7 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the MLH1 gene is an established disease mechanism in individuals with Lynch syndrome. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant Lynch syndrome. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2. |
