Genetic Variant LEP:p.Cys7* (chr7-128252039-C-A) – ACMG Classification: Likely_pathogenic (6 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PVS1_StrongPM2

The NM_000230.3(LEP):c.21C>A(p.Cys7*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,461,884 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. C7C) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

LEP (HGNC:6553): (leptin) This gene encodes a protein that is secreted by white adipocytes into the circulation and plays a major role in the regulation of energy homeostasis. Circulating leptin binds to the leptin receptor in the brain, which activates downstream signaling pathways that inhibit feeding and promote energy expenditure. This protein also has several endocrine functions, and is involved in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses, hematopoiesis, angiogenesis, reproduction, bone formation and wound healing. Mutations in this gene and its regulatory regions cause severe obesity and morbid obesity with hypogonadism in human patients. A mutation in this gene has also been linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus development. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]
