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

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 5 uncertain in NM_005912.3
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.
PP5
Variant 18-60371842-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-60371842-T-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 14323.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.23309362). . Strength limited to SUPPORTING due to the PP5.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.0000965 (141/1461868) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.00149 (50/33480). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00116. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 64 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 29 AD gene.
