Description

The p.A42V variant (also known as c.125C>T), located in coding exon 2 of the MLH1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 125. The alanine at codon 42 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with similar properties. The p.A42V alteration has been shown to have greater than 67% reduced mismatch repair function in yeast (Ellison AR et al. Nucleic Acids Res. 2004 Oct;32(18):5321-38). However, this alteration was reported in an individual with normal microsatellite stability and immunohistochemistry studies and interpreted to be benign (Walsh T et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2011 Nov;108(44):18032-7). This variant has also been identified in probands whose Lynch syndrome-associated tumors demonstrated normal mismatch repair protein expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) (Ambry internal data). 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.

Description

This missense variant replaces alanine with valine at codon 42 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). A functional study found that a hybrid human-yeast version of this variant protein produces a high mutator phenotype (PMID: 15475387), however, the clinical significance of this functional finding is uncertain. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with ovarian cancer whose tumor showed low microsatellite instability and the presence of MLH1 protein by immunohistochemistry (PMID: 22006311; InSiGHT database). This variant has been identified in 1/251434 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.
