Genes affected
MC4R (HGNC:6932): (melanocortin 4 receptor) The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane-bound receptor and member of the melanocortin receptor family. The encoded protein interacts with adrenocorticotropic and MSH hormones and is mediated by G proteins. This is an intronless gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal dominant obesity.

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points.

PVS1
Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.016 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
BS2
High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 6 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

MC4R-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesSep 19, 2022The MC4R c.983T>A variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Leu328*). This variant truncates the final five amino acids of the MC4R protein. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with MC4R-related disease. This variant is reported in 0.0029% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/18-58038600-A-T). Although truncating variants are expected to be pathogenic, to our knowledge, all are located upstream of this variant. In ClinVar, this variant has been interpreted as pathogenic (https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/586139/). Although we suspect that this variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
