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.Gln23*) in the MC1R gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 295 amino acid(s) of the MC1R protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs201533137, gnomAD 0.5%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of MC1R-related conditions (PMID: 12839583). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 239159). 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: Uncertain significance

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The MC1R c.67C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Gln23*). This variant has been reported in the heterozygous state in an individual with red hair and without a second variant in the gene (McKenzie et al 2003. PubMed ID: 12839583); however, it has not been associated with MC1R-related conditions. This variant is reported in 0.51% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD, which is likely too frequent to be a primary cause of disease. Although we suspect this variant may be benign, its clinical significance is currently classified as uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
