Genes affected

MC4R (HGNC:6932): (melanocortin 4 receptor) The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane-bound receptor and member of the melanocortin receptor family. The encoded protein interacts with adrenocorticotropic and MSH hormones and is mediated by G proteins. This is an intronless gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal dominant obesity. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

MC4R Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• inherited obesity

  Inheritance: AD Classification: STRONG Submitted by: Laboratory for Molecular Medicine
• obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency

  Inheritance: AD Classification: SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Orphanet

ENSG00000285681 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 8 uncertain in NM_005912.3
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 29 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 3 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: -1.0099 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.30396 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to inherited obesity, obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.942
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 13 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.
