| MLH1 | 9490293 | Characterization of MLH1 and MSH2 alternative splicing and its relevance to molecular testing of colorectal cancer susceptibility. | The phenomenon of alternative splicing in the DNA mismatch repair genes MLH1 and MSH2 was extensively investigated by coupled reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction in different human tissues, including 42 mononuclear blood cell samples--31 obtained from familial colon cancer patients or their at-risk relatives and 11 from healthy blood donors--7 normal colonic mucosae, 4 established human cancer cell lines, 8 colorectal tumors, and one sample each of ileum, liver, muscle, thymus, breast, and EBV-transformed lymphoblasts. Several isoforms were observed for each gene. Products of MLH1 alternative splicing included mRNAs lacking alternative exons 6/9, 9, 9/10, 9/10/11, 10/11, 12, 16, and 17. For MSH2, products lacking exons 5, 13, 2 through 7, and 2 through 8 were identified. The levels of expression were found to vary among different samples. All isoforms were found in a relevant fraction (43-100%) of the mononuclear blood cell samples, as well as in other tissues. The splicing variants were also detected in normal colonic mucosa, with the exceptions of the MLH1 -6/9 and -10/11 and the MSH2 -13 isoforms. Germline mutations of MLH1 and MSH2 confer constitutional predisposition to the development of colorectal cancer and other neoplasms. A substantial proportion of the mutations identified so far involve alterations of the normal splicing process. Knowledge of the existence of multiple alternative splicing events, not caused by genomic DNA changes, is important for the evaluation of the results of molecular diagnostic tests based on RNA analysis. | D003123 | Colorectal Neoplasms, Hereditary Nonpolyposis |

| MLH1 | 19767099 | Alternative splicing of hMLH1 in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and characterisation of the variably expressed Delta9/10 isoform as a dominant negative species. | Mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency is a common feature of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) cell lines and in some cases is due to the mutations of hMLH1 which affect mRNA splicing. Therefore, we have analysed alternative splicing of hMLH1 in a cohort of children with ALL. We show that alternative splicing of hMLH1 is highly variable in normal and leukaemic cells and can occur by exon skipping or by the use of an alternative splice site, both serving to down-regulate the amount of full-length hMLH1 mRNA/protein produced. Aberrant splicing was found in one child with an aggressive leukaemia in which there was a predominant hMLH1Delta6 form and an associated loss of wild-type hMLH1 protein but this was not accompanied by microsatellite instability. Functional analysis of one of the most abundant spliced forms, hMLH1Delta9/10, was shown to have a significant dominant negative effect on the functionality of the MMR pathway but again was similarly expressed in ALL and normal cells. | D054198 | Precursor Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia-Lymphoma |
| MLH1 | 20403997 | Genetic variation in 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase modifies the chemopreventive activity of statins for colorectal cancer. | Genetic variation in 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase (HMGCR), the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis, modifies the effect of statins on serum cholesterol levels. Long-term use of statins is associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) in some, but not all, studies. We genotyped variants in 40 candidate genes important for cholesterol synthesis and metabolism in a population-based case-control study of CRC involving 2,138 incident cases and 2,049 population-based controls. We identified a single-nucleotide polymorphism in the HMGCR gene that significantly modified the protective association between statins and CRC risk. Compared with nonusers, the unadjusted odds ratio of CRC among statin users with the A/A genotype of rs12654264 in HMGCR was 0.3 (95% confidence interval, 0.18-0.51) and among statin users with the T/T genotype was 0.66 (95% confidence interval, 0.41-1.06; P-interaction = 0.0012). This genetic variant (A/A genotype of rs12654264) also was associated with lower serum levels of low-density lipoprotein among all cases and controls. In colon cancer cell lines, the reduction in cholesterol levels after statin treatment was substantially stronger in cells carrying the A/A genotype, and this difference was related to alternative splicing involving the HMGCR statin-binding domain. We anticipate that these data may advance the development of personalized statin use for reducing the risk of cancer as well as cardiovascular disease among the approximately 25 million people currently using statins worldwide. | D015179 | Colorectal Neoplasms |
| MLH1 | 20717847 | An intronic mutation in MLH1 associated with familial colon and breast cancer. | Single base substitutions can lead to missense mutations, silent mutations or intronic mutations, whose significance is uncertain. Aberrant splicing can occur due to mutations that disrupt or create canonical splice sites or splicing regulatory sequences. The assessment of their pathogenic role may be difficult, and is further complicated by the phenomenon of alternative splicing. We describe an HNPCC patient, with early-onset colorectal cancer and a strong family history of colorectal and breast tumors, who harbours a germ line MLH1 intronic variant (IVS9 c.790 +4A>T). The proband, together with 2 relatives affected by colorectal-cancer and 1 by breast cancer, have been investigated for microsatellite instability, immunohistochemical MMR protein staining, direct sequencing and Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification. The effect of the intronic variant was analyzed both by splicing prediction software and by hybrid minigene splicing assay. In this family, we found a novel MLH1 germline intronic variant (IVS9 c.790 +4A>T) in intron 9, consisting of an A to T transversion, in position +4 of the splice donor site of MLH1. The mutation is associated with the lack of expression of the MLH1 protein and MSI in tumour tissues. Furthermore, our results suggest that this substitution leads to a complete skip of both exon 9 and 10 of the mutant allele. Our findings suggest that this intronic variant plays a pathogenic role. | D002288 | Adenocarcinoma, Mucinous |
