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.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MC4R function (PMID: 10903341, 12690102, 16507637, 16752916). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on MC4R protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 945179). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with MC4R-related disease (PMID: 10903341, 18559663). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 301 of the MC4R protein (p.Ile301Thr). -

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The MC4R c.902T>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ile301Thr. This variant has been reported in the heterozygous, compound heterozygous, and homozygous states in individuals with obesity, with compound heterozygotes and homozygotes noted to be more severely affected (Vaisse et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 10903341; Lubrano-Berthelier et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16507637; Stutzmann et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18559663). It segregated with disease in multiple families (Vaisse et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 1090334; Stutzmann et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18559663). In vitro experimental studies suggest this variant affects protein function (see, for example, Vaisse et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 10903341; Lubrano-Berthelier et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16507637; Nijenhuis et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 12690102). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
