Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP2 PP3_Moderate PP5

The NM_005912.3(MC4R):​c.172A>T​(p.Ser58Cys) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,890 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. S58N) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

MC4R Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• inherited obesity

  Inheritance: AD Classification: STRONG Submitted by: Laboratory for Molecular Medicine
• obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency

  Inheritance: AD Classification: SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Orphanet

ENSG00000285681 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_005912.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 29 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 3 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: -1.0099 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.30396 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency, inherited obesity.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.925
• PP5: Variant 18-60372178-T-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-60372178-T-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 14321.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
