Ambry Genetics | RCV000163977 | SCV000214577 | uncertain significance | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2023-09-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.V152M variant (also known as c.454G>A), located in coding exon 6 of the MLH1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 454. The valine at codon 152 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This change occurs in the first base pair of coding exon 6. This variant has been identified in a proband(s) whose Lynch syndrome-associated tumor demonstrated normal mismatch repair protein expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) (Ambry internal data). In one study, this variant was observed in 1/626 Northern European patients with colorectal cancer diagnosed before age 56, who had at least one first-degree relative with colorectal cancer (Chubb D et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2015 Feb;33(5):426-32). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. |

RCV000222401 | SCV000279325 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2018-10-26 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is denoted MLH1 c.454G>A at the cDNA level, p.Val152Met (V152M) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Valine to a Methionine (GTG>ATG). This variant has been observed in at least one individual with a personal and family history of colorectal cancer (Chubb 2015). MLH1 Val152Met was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). Since Valine and Methionine share similar properties, this is considered a conservative amino acid substitution. MLH1 Val152Met occurs at a position that is conserved across species and is located within the N-terminal ATPase domain (Anderson 2012). Protein based in silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function while splicing based models predict this variant to either weaken or destroy the natural splice acceptor site. However, in the absence of RNA or functional studies, the actual effect of this variant is unknown. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether MLH1 Val152Met is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. |

RCV000163977 | SCV000689887 | uncertain significance | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2023-05-05 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This missense variant replaces valine with methionine at codon 152 of the MLH1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with colorectal cancer (PMID: 25559809), esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (PMID: 30833958), or breast cancer (PMID 34359559). This variant has been identified in 2/251266 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. |

RCV003447510 | SCV004175483 | uncertain significance | Muir-Torré syndrome | 2023-04-13 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The MLH1 c.454G>A variant is classified as VUS (PS4_Supporting, PM2, PP3) The MLH1 c.454G>A variant is located in a splice region. The MLH1 c.454G>A variant is a single nucleotide change in exon 6/19 of the MLH1 gene, which is predicted to change the amino acid valine at position 152 in the protein to methionine. The variant has been reported in a patient with esophageal cancer and another with colon cancer (PMID:25559809, PMID:30833958) (PS4_Supporting). This variant is absent from population databases (PM2). Computational predictions support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product (PP3). The variant has been reported in dbSNP (rs748417604) and in the HGMD database (CM1913018). It has been reported as Uncertain significance by other diagnostic laboratories (ClinVar Variation ID: 184683). |

Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano | RCV000222401 | SCV005623582 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2024-01-09 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The MLH1 c.454G>A (p.Val152Met) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with colon cancer (PMID: 25559809 (2015)), esophageal cancer (PMID: 30833958 (2019)), and breast cancer (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/MLH1)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000008 (2/251266 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. |
