Cross-species summary: Lynch syndrome; HNPCC2

Species-specific symbol: MLH1-rheMac

Molecular basis: Brammer et al. (2018) reported that "current results provide supportive evidence for the existence of HNPCC (MLH1-rheMac syndrome) in rhesus macaques resulting from the loss of MLH1 protein expression, which represents a simian ortholog of Lynch syndrome in humans. The loss of MLH1 expression is potentially due to several reasons, including a deletion mutation in the MLH1 promoter region, which results in decreased transcriptional activity." These authors identified the likely causal variant as a "deletion in the putative promoter region of the MLH1 gene (rheMac2: 2:99,561,829–99,561,830; hg19: ∼3:37,034,780; c.−258_259)". Dray et al. (2018) reported a likely causal variant as "a de novo stop codon in the coding region of MLH1. This de novo stop codon occurs in exon 11 out of 19 in the MLH1 gene, and thus would produce a dramatically truncated and possibly non-functional protein". These authors did not provide any details on this variant. Ozirmak Lermi et al. (2022) report that a "cohort of rhesus macaques from our institution developed spontaneous mismatch repair deficient (MMRd) CRC with a notable fraction harboring a pathogenic germline mutation in MLH1 (c.1029C

Variants

By default, variants are sorted chronologically by year of publication, to provide a historical perspective. Readers can re-sort on any column by clicking on the column header. Click it again to sort in a descending order. To create a multiple-field sort, hold down Shift while clicking on the second, third etc relevant column headers.

WARNING! Inclusion of a variant in this table does not automatically mean that it should be used for DNA testing. Anyone contemplating the use of any of these variants for DNA testing should examine critically the relevant evidence (especially in breeds other than the breed in which the variant was first described). If it is decided to proceed, the location and orientation of the variant sequence should be checked very carefully.

Since October 2021, OMIA includes a semiautomated lift-over pipeline to facilitate updates of genomic positions to a recent reference genome position. These changes to genomic positions are not always reflected in the ‘acknowledgements’ or ‘verbal description’ fields in this table.
