Genes affected
MC1R (HGNC:6929): (melanocortin 1 receptor) This intronless gene encodes the receptor protein for melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH). The encoded protein, a seven pass transmembrane G protein coupled receptor, controls melanogenesis. Two types of melanin exist: red pheomelanin and black eumelanin. Gene mutations that lead to a loss in function are associated with increased pheomelanin production, which leads to lighter skin and hair color. Eumelanin is photoprotective but pheomelanin may contribute to UV-induced skin damage by generating free radicals upon UV radiation. Binding of MSH to its receptor activates the receptor and stimulates eumelanin synthesis. This receptor is a major determining factor in sun sensitivity and is a genetic risk factor for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. Over 30 variant alleles have been identified which correlate with skin and hair color, providing evidence that this gene is an important component in determining normal human pigment variation.

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJan 04, 2018Considered a low risk allele, case control studies suggest this variant is associated with early onset cutaneous melanoma (Cust et al., 2012); Reported in association with red hair, fair skin, increased risk for melanoma, increased risk of photoaging and congenital melanocytic nevi (Puig-Butille et al., 2013; Kinsler et al., 2012; Ibarrola-Villava et al., 2014); Functional characterization of the variant show decreased ability to stimulate cAMP production, and altered cell surface expression (Schioth et al., 1999; Sanchez-Laorden et al., 2009); Observed in 920/66568 (1.4%) alleles from individuals of European background, including 6 unrelated homozygous individuals in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22464597, 12789280, 26103569, 26197705, 10403794, 24665948, 19799798, 24660985, 11875032, 17616515, 18366057, 19452503, 22572819, 24335900, 19656326, 7581459, 23647022, 22095472, 9302268, 11179997, 30531825, 31382929, 30414346, 14709592, 11500805) -
Likely benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The MC1R p.Asp294His variant has been reported in the literature multiple times in association with melanoma development, red hair and fair skin (Raimondi_2008_PMID:18366057; Zorina-Lichtenwalter_2019_PMID:30657907). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs1805009), LOVD 3.0 and ClinVar (classified as benign by Invitae, as likely benign by Prevention Genetics and Illumina, as likely pathogenic by Yale Center for Mendelian Genomics and University of Washington Center for Mendelian Genomics, and as pathogenic by GeneDx). The variant was identified in control databases in 2568 of 280442 chromosomes (23 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.009157 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: European (non-Finnish) in 2082 of 128324 chromosomes (freq: 0.01622), Other in 78 of 7136 chromosomes (freq: 0.01093), Latino in 256 of 35366 chromosomes (freq: 0.007239), African in 82 of 24150 chromosomes (freq: 0.003395), European (Finnish) in 53 of 24992 chromosomes (freq: 0.002121) and Ashkenazi Jewish in 17 of 10346 chromosomes (freq: 0.001643), but was not observed in the East Asian or South Asian populations. The p.D294H variant was found to have a dominant negative effect on MC1R cAMP signialling but had normal cell surface expression (Beaumont_2007_PMID:17616515). The p.Asp294 residue is conserved across mammals and other organisms, and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the variant may impact the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -

Melanoma, cutaneous malignant, susceptibility to, 5 Benign:2
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaMar 06, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -

risk factor, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineDec 04, 2019MC1R c.880G>C (p.Asp294His) has been associated with increased risk for melanoma. This variant has been observed in multiple ethnic backgrounds with highest frequencies in individuals of European ancestry (1.64%, Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD); rs1805009) and is present in ClinVar (ID: 14307). A large meta-analysis has reported an odds ratio of 1.89 [95% CI 4.8-10] for developing melanoma (Williams 2011). In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Asp294His variant may impact protein function (Beaumont 2007). In summary, this variant is not expected to cause highly penetrant Mendelian disease. p.Asp294His variant is an established risk factor for melanoma. -
