Description

The p.R226* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.676C>T), located in coding exon 8 of the MLH1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 676. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 8. This mutation has been detected in multiple families meeting Amsterdam Criteria for a clinical diagnosis of Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC)/Lynch syndrome), several with tumors demonstrating microsatellite instability and loss of MLH1 protein on immunohistochemistry (Moslein G et al. Hum Mol Genet, 1996 Sep;5:1245-52; Marcos I et al. J Pediatr, 2006 Jun;148:837-9; Mueller J et al. Cancer Res, 2009 Sep;69:7053-61; Coolbaugh-Murphy MI et al.

This mutation has been reported as homozygous in individuals with features of constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) syndrome (Ricciardone MD et al. Cancer Res, 1999 Jan;59:290-3; Apessos A et al. Br J Cancer, 2005 Jan;92:396-404). This mutation has also been reported in 1/327 Mexican patients with a personal and/or family history suspicious for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (Quezada Urban R et al. Cancers (Basel), 2018 Sep;10:). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

Description

This variant causes a C to T nucleotide change in exon 8 of the MLH1 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals and families affected with Lynch syndrome-associated cancer, many of whom met the Amsterdam II criteria (PMID: 9927033, 15655560, 15849733, 18307539, 19690142, 20045164, 20924129, 21247423, 24344984, 24362816, 27601186, 28514183, 28874130). This variant has also been reported in homozygous carriers affected with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency syndrome (PMID: 17889038), and has been shown to segregate with disease in families (PMID: 15655560, 21247423, 24362816). This variant has also been identified in an individual affected with ovarian cancer (PMID: 23047549). This variant has been identified in 1/250982 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of MLH1 function is a known mechanism of disease. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
