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.

Pathogenic:1Uncertain:1

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Mar 04, 2023	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 have shown that this missense change affects MC4R function (PMID: 16083993, 16752916, 20696697, 20826565, 25332687). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on MC4R protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 36488). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with obesity (PMID: 12499395, 12851297, 18559663, 19091795, 24426828). This variant is present in population databases (rs52804924, gnomAD 0.002%). This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 299 of the MC4R protein (p.Pro299His). -

The MC4R c.896C>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro299His. This variant has previously been reported in the heterozygous state in patients who presented with morbid obesity (Stutzmann et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18559663; Lubrano-Berthelier et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 12499395). This variant was also reported in the apparently homozygous state in a child who presented with severe early-onset obesity; although genetic testing was not reported for either parent, the family history was significant for obesity in both parents (Pillai et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24426828). Furthermore, in vitro studies indicate that the p.Pro299His change results in intracellular retention of the MC4R receptor and therefore disruption of α-MSH activation (Lubrano-Berthelier et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 12499395; Roubert et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20696697). This variant is reported in 0.0040% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. In summary, we classify this variant as pathogenic. -
