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.

The MC4R c.941A>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Lys314Thr. This variant has been reported in an individual with obesity whom underwent bariatric surgery (LB308; Lim et al. 2023. PubMed ID 37070693). This variant is reported in 0.0029% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. Although we suspect that this variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
