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.

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points.

PM1

In a transmembrane_region Helical; Name=7 (size 23) in uniprot entity MC4R_HUMAN there are 4 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_005912.3

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.09116614).

BS2

High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 15 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

The MC4R c.910C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Leu304Phe. This variant has been reported in the heterozygous state in individuals with obesity (van den Berg et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 20966905; Thearle et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 22106157). Functional studies analyzing NDP-MSH receptor binding in HEK cells showed that this variant decreased expression levels to ~40% of wild receptor expression and cell surface expression and retainment in the ER was decreased as compared to wildtype (van den Berg et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 20966905); however another study showed p.Leu304Phe had no impact on MC4R function (Thearle et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 22106157). In addition, affinity for NDP-MSH and receptor activation was not significantly altered as compared to wildtype (van den Berg et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 20966905). Another study analyzing signaling preference for gain-of-function MC4R variants determined that the p.Leu304Phe variant had no evidence of biased signaling (Lotta et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31002796). This variant is reported in 0.034% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
