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]

MC3R-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJan 19, 2024The MC3R c.291G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Met97Ile. This variant has been identified in individuals with childhood obesity (described as Met134Ile, Lee et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17639020). Functional analyses of the p.Met97Ile variant showed it had decreased maximal binding, but displayed similar signaling properties as wild-type MC3R (described as M134I, Yang and Tao. 2012. PubMed ID: 22884546). This variant was also shown to increase cAMP activity, but had no significant effect on pERK1/2 levels (described as M134I, Yang et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25798062). This variant is reported in 0.48% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD, which may be too common to be a cause of disease. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
