Genes affected

MC1R (HGNC:6929): (melanocortin 1 receptor) This intronless gene encodes the receptor protein for melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH). The encoded protein, a seven pass transmembrane G protein coupled receptor, controls melanogenesis. Two types of melanin exist: red pheomelanin and black eumelanin. Gene mutations that lead to a loss in function are associated with increased pheomelanin production, which leads to lighter skin and hair color. Eumelanin is photoprotective but pheomelanin may contribute to UV-induced skin damage by generating free radicals upon UV radiation. Binding of MSH to its receptor activates the receptor and stimulates eumelanin synthesis. This receptor is a major determining factor in sun sensitivity and is a genetic risk factor for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. Over 30 variant alleles have been identified which correlate with skin and hair color, providing evidence that this gene is an important component in determining normal human pigment variation.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Oct 23, 2023	The MC1R c.464T>C; p.Ile155Thr variant (rs1110400) is reported in the literature in individuals affected with melanoma (Aviles 2012, Bassoli 2013, Hatvani 2014, Puig-Butille 2013). However, several studies found only a slightly increased association with melanoma, with odds ratios of 1.14-2.45 (Morgan 2018, Raimondi 2008, Williams 2011). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 239154), and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.57% (1566/273582 alleles, including a single homozygote) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The isoleucine at codon 155 is highly conserved, and computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.234). In vitro functional analyses demonstrate decreased cell surface expression of the MC1R protein and reduced cAMP signaling (Beaumont 2007). Based on available information, it is uncertain whether this variant increases the risk for melanoma. References: Aviles JA et al.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jul 01, 2016	The I155T variant in the MC1R gene has been reported numerous times in the both the heterozygous and homozygous states in association with MC1R-related phenotypes including red hair, changes in skin pigmentation, and an increased risk for UV exposure-related melanoma (Flanagan et al., 2000; Beaumont et al., 2007; Raimondi et al., 2008; Cust et al., 2012; Puig-Butillé et al., 2013). The NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project reports I155T was observed in 1.05% (90/8598) alleles from individuals of European American ancestry. The I155T variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position where amino acids with similar properties to Isoleucine are tolerated across species. Functional studies demonstrate that I155T reduces cell surface expression of the MC1R protein and results in loss of cAMP signaling (Beaumont et al., 2007). -
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System	-	The MC1R p.Ile155Thr variant was reported in the literature with an association to red hair colour, fair skin colour, and melanoma risk phenotypes (Morgan_2018_PMID:30531825; Liu_2015_PMID:25963972; Williams_2011_PMID:21128237; Raimondi_2008_PMID:18366057). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs1110400), ClinVar (classified as benign 1x, likely benign 2x, pathogenic 1x by GeneDx, and uncertain significance 1x), and LOVD 3.0, however it was not identified in Cosmic. The variant was identified in control databases in 1566 of 273582 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.005724 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: European (non-Finnish) in 1180 of 126992 chromosomes (freq: 0.009292), Ashkenazi Jewish in 88 of 10294 chromosomes (freq: 0.008549), Other in 45 of 7096 chromosomes (freq: 0.006342), Latino in 148 of 35326 chromosomes (freq: 0.00419), African in 55 of 24388 chromosomes (freq: 0.002255), European (Finnish) in 36 of 19442 chromosomes (freq: 0.001852) and South Asian in 14 of 30564 chromosomes (freq: 0.000458); it was not observed in the East Asian population. One functional study showed I155T G-protein coupled receptors, which are expressed on melanocytes and play a role in pigmentation regulation, displayed an 85% decrease in plasma membrane receptor levels (Beaumont_2005_PMID:15972726). Although the p.Ile155 residue is not conserved in mammals and other organisms, computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the variant may impact the protein. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Melanoma, cutaneous malignant, susceptibility to, 5 Benign:2

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Apr 27, 2017	This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
