RCV001356007 | SCV001551054 | pathogenic | Lynch syndrome | no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | The MLH1 c.546-?_677+?del variant (chr:3 g.37053311_37053590del GRCh37) results in a deletion of exons 7 and 8, although the precise breakpoints of this deletion were not determined, nor were the effects of this variant on the resulting mRNA or protein product determined. The MLH1 p.Tyr183_Arg226del variant was identified in 1 of 274 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.004) from individuals or families with HNPCC (Pistorius_2007_16837128). The variant was also identified in ClinVar (classified pathogenic, reviewed by an expert panel (2013); submitter InSIGHT), Clinvitae (1x), UMD-LSDB (1x as causal), Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database and was not identified in dbSNP, GeneInsight-COGR, Cosmic, MutDB, Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database, Insight Hereditary Tumors Database, the 1000 Genomes Project, the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project, the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). This variant is an in-frame deletion resulting in the removal of amino acid residues at codon 183 to 226 within the histidine kinase-like ATPase ATP binding domain; the impact of this alteration on MLH1 protein function is not known. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. REFERENCES: |
