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.

MC4R-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesNov 16, 2023The MC4R c.905A>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Tyr302Phe. This variant was reported in the heterozygous state in a father and child with obesity (Roth et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19214805). Three investigations found that this variant caused a partial reduction of function in vitro (Roth et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19214805, He et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25332687; Lotta et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31002796). This variant is reported in 0.0018% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Although we suspect that this variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
