Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PM1PM2PP2PP3_Moderate

The NM_005912.3(MC4R):​c.148G>A​(p.Val50Met) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. V50G) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
MC4R Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):
  • inherited obesity
    Inheritance: AD Classification: STRONG Submitted by: Laboratory for Molecular Medicine
  • obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency
    Inheritance: AD Classification: SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Orphanet

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 4 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, 0.934
