Genes affected
LEP (HGNC:6553): (leptin) This gene encodes a protein that is secreted by white adipocytes into the circulation and plays a major role in the regulation of energy homeostasis. Circulating leptin binds to the leptin receptor in the brain, which activates downstream signaling pathways that inhibit feeding and promote energy expenditure. This protein also has several endocrine functions, and is involved in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses, hematopoiesis, angiogenesis, reproduction, bone formation and wound healing. Mutations in this gene and its regulatory regions cause severe obesity and morbid obesity with hypogonadism in human patients. A mutation in this gene has also been linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus development. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

The LEP c.133A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ile45Val. This variant was reported in a large study of severely obese individuals; however, pathogenicity was not established (Courbage et al 2021. PubMed ID: 34097736). It was suggested to be potentially damaging in a study of prevalence of potentially damaging variants in the LEP gene (Nunziata et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29101506). This variant is reported in 0.072% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
