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 was made for transcript
Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points.
PM1
In a hotspot region, there are  2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 10 uncertain in NM_005912.3
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage; 
PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 29 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 3 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: -1.0099 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.30396 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency, inherited obesity. 
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.96
