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.

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

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points.

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.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.14122966).
BP6
Variant 18-60372240-T-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr18-60372240-T-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 14319.
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.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 37 of the MC4R protein (p.Asp37Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs13447325, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features associated with MC4R-related obesity (PMID: 12970296). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 14319). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MC4R protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect MC4R function (PMID: 16752916). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
