Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 19 ACMG points: 20P and 1B. PVS1PS3PP5_Very_StrongBS2_Supporting

The NM_005912.3(MC4R):​c.105C>A​(p.Tyr35*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000669 in 1,614,092 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 (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000409981: Lubrano-Berthelier et al. (2006) demonstrated a complete lack of membrane expression of the p.Tyr35Ter variant protein as well as a significantly impaired basal receptor activity and reduced response to a receptor agonist, both to less than 10% of wildtype. PMID:16982652" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar.

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: Pathogenic. The variant received 19 ACMG points.

PVS1
Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 62 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000409981: Lubrano-Berthelier et al. (2006) demonstrated a complete lack of membrane expression of the p.Tyr35Ter variant protein as well as a significantly impaired basal receptor activity and reduced response to a receptor agonist, both to less than 10% of wildtype. PMID:16982652; SCV001423111: "In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Tyr35Ter variant may eliminate receptor activity and cell membrane expression." PMID:16507637, 20966905; SCV000321871: Published functional studies demonstrate that Y35X leads to impaired cAMP responses and absent binding of NDP-alphaMSH (PMID: 12970296, 15486053); SCV004297611: Experimental studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal affects MC4R function (PMID: 12970296, 16507637, 16752916).; SCV006555964: Functional studies demonstrate that the variant results in markedly reduced expression of the receptor protein at the cell surface and decreased basal activity (<10%) compared to wild-type in HEK-293 cells, indicating impaired protein function (Hinney A et al., PMID: 12970296; Lubrano-Berthelier C et al., PMID: 16507637; Xiang Z et al., PMID: 16752916).; SCV004848238: In vitro expression of the p.Tyr35X-MC4R protein demonstrated absent cell surface expression, ligand binding, and cAMP response (Larsen 2005, Xiang 2006, Lubrano-Berthelier 2006, Brumm 2012).; SCV005400000: Studies show that this variant showed no binding to the analog of the endogenous agonist, impairing significantly protein function (PMID: 15486053, PMID: 12851297).
PP5
Variant 18-60372245-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-60372245-G-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 14318.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 18 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.
