Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BS1_Supporting

The NM_000939.4(POMC):c.297_298insAGCAGCGGCAGCAGCGGCAGCAGCGGCAGCAGCGGCAGCAGCGGCAGCAGCGGCAGCAGCGGCAGCAGCGGCAGCAGCGGC(p.Gly99_Ala100insSerSerGlySerSerGlySerSerGlySerSerGlySerSerGlySerSerGlySerSerGlySerSerGlySerSerGly) variant causes a conservative inframe insertion change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000158 in 151,774 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).

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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -1 ACMG points.

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000158 (24/151774) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.00051 (21/41146). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000341. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 13 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

This variant, c.297_298ins81, results in the insertion of 27 amino acid(s) of the POMC protein (p.Gly99_Ala100ins27), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.08%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POMC-related conditions. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -
