Classification rationale
1

The MLH1 c.290A>G (p.Tyr97Cys) variant has been observed once in somatic cancers in COSMIC and has been reported in ClinVar with conflicting germline interpretations, including uncertain significance, likely benign, and benign submissions.

This variant is present in gnomAD at a South Asian grpmax filtering allele frequency of 0.0015372 in v4.1, which is above the MLH1 VCEP BA1 threshold of 0.001; gnomAD v2.1 also shows elevated South Asian frequency with grpmax FAF 0.00153368.

SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant with a maximum delta score of 0.01; REVEL is 0.603 and BayesDel is 0.230019, but no MLH1 VCEP HCI prior probability was identified to support PP3 or BP4 for this missense change.

Population
gnomAD v2.1This variant is present in gnomAD v2.1 (AF= 0.000242661; MAF= 0.02427%, 61/251380 alleles, homozygotes = 0) and has highest observed frequency in the South Asian population (AF= 0.00192735; MAF= 0.19273%, 59/30612 alleles, homozygotes = 0); grpmax FAF= 0.00153368.
gnomAD v4.1This variant is present in gnomAD v4.1 (AF= 0.000107785; MAF= 0.01078%, 173/1605044 alleles, homozygotes = 0) and has highest observed frequency in the South Asian population (AF= 0.00175975; MAF= 0.17598%, 160/90922 alleles, homozygotes = 0); grpmax FAF= 0.0015372.
ClinVar evidence
02
ClinVar
This variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (4 clinical laboratories) and as Likely benign (3 clinical laboratories) and as Benign (2 clinical laboratories) and as likely benign (1 clinical laboratory).
Functional evidence
03
Functional
OncoKB: Unknown Oncogenic Effect
OncoKB did not identify variant-specific reviewed functional evidence for this variant; gene-level curated context is available for reviewer follow-up. MLH1, a DNA mismatch repair protein, is recurrently altered by deletion and mutation in various cancer types.
In silico evidence
