Genes affected
POMC (HGNC:9201): (proopiomelanocortin) This gene encodes a preproprotein that undergoes extensive, tissue-specific, post-translational processing via cleavage by subtilisin-like enzymes known as prohormone convertases. There are eight potential cleavage sites within the preproprotein and, depending on tissue type and the available convertases, processing may yield as many as ten biologically active peptides involved in diverse cellular functions. The encoded protein is synthesized mainly in corticotroph cells of the anterior pituitary where four cleavage sites are used; adrenocorticotrophin, essential for normal steroidogenesis and the maintenance of normal adrenal weight, and lipotropin beta are the major end products. In other tissues, including the hypothalamus, placenta, and epithelium, all cleavage sites may be used, giving rise to peptides with roles in pain and energy homeostasis, melanocyte stimulation, and immune modulation. These include several distinct melanotropins, lipotropins, and endorphins that are contained within the adrenocorticotrophin and beta-lipotropin peptides. The antimicrobial melanotropin alpha peptide exhibits antibacterial and antifungal activity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with early onset obesity, adrenal insufficiency, and red hair pigmentation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesOct 20, 2023The POMC c.626T>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Leu209Pro. This variant has been reported in individuals with an obesity phenotype (Table 3, Courbage et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34097736; Dubern et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18091355; Supplemental Data Set, Shah et al. 2023. PubMed ID: 36864747). This variant is reported in 0.023% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-25384128-A-G). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
