Genes affected

MC3R (HGNC:6931): (melanocortin 3 receptor) This gene encodes a G-protein-coupled receptor for melanocyte-stimulating hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone that is expressed in tissues other than the adrenal cortex and melanocytes. This gene maps to the same region as the locus for benign neonatal epilepsy. Mice deficient for this gene have increased fat mass despite decreased food intake, suggesting a role for this gene product in the regulation of energy homeostasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with a susceptibility to obesity in humans. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.87).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.89 with no splicing effect.

This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MC3R-related conditions. This sequence change affects codon 4 of the MC3R mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the MC3R protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
