Genes affected
LEPR (HGNC:6554): (leptin receptor) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the gp130 family of cytokine receptors that are known to stimulate gene transcription via activation of cytosolic STAT proteins. This protein is a receptor for leptin (an adipocyte-specific hormone that regulates body weight), and is involved in the regulation of fat metabolism, as well as in a novel hematopoietic pathway that is required for normal lymphopoiesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with obesity and pituitary dysfunction. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. It is noteworthy that this gene and LEPROT gene (GeneID:54741) share the same promoter and the first 2 exons, however, encode distinct proteins (PMID:9207021).[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
LEPR Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The LEPR c.3495_3496delGT variant is predicted to result in extension of the open reading frame (p.*1166Ileext*13). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.011% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is present in population databases (rs756571131, gnomAD 0.01%). This sequence change disrupts the translational stop signal of the LEPR mRNA. It is expected to extend the length of the LEPR protein by 13 additional amino acid residues. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LEPR-related conditions. 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. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 435748). -
