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.

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

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr152*) in the MC1R gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 166 amino acid(s) of the MC1R protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs201326893, gnomAD 1.0%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with melanoma (PMID: 23522749, 15998953, 19269164, 17496785, 31382929), as well as unaffected individuals (PMID: 15221796, 19585506, 19269164). lt has been observed more frequently in individuals with red hair and pale skin phenotypes (PMID: 11933208, 17316231). Pigmentation of the hair and skin is correlated with ultraviolet sensitivity and skin cancer. Other loss-of-function missense variants in MC1R have been correlated with lighter skin pigmentation (PMID: 11030758) and possibly increased melanoma risk, although no definitive disease association has been concluded (PMID: 18366057, 21128237). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 265230). 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 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. -
