Description

The c.2103+2T>C intronic variant results from a T to C substitution two nucleotides after coding exon 18 in the MLH1 gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to result in aberrant splicing. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. The resulting transcript is predicted to be in-frame and is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay; however, direct evidence is unavailable. The exact functional effect of the altered amino acid sequence is unknown; however, the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). This alteration has been identified as somatic in conjunction with a somatic pathogenic MLH1 variant in a MSI-H colon tumor with loss of MLH1/PMS2 expression by immunohistochemistry where MLH1 promotor hypermethylation was negative (Ambry internal data). A similar alteration affecting this same canonical splice site, c.2103+1G>A, has been reported in numerous individuals/families with Lynch syndrome, many of whom had tumor studies showing absent MLH1 protein expression on IHC (Wijnen J et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 1996 Feb;58(2):300-7; Berends MJ et al. Int. J. Cancer. 2001 May;92(3):398-403; Wagner A et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2003 May;72(5):1088-100; Overbeek LI et al. Br. J. Cancer. 2007 May;96(10):1605-12; Skeldon SC et al. Eur. Urol. 2013 Feb;63(2):379-85; Lagerstedt-Robinson K et al. Oncol. Rep. 2016 Nov;36:2823-2835; Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic.
