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

  Inheritance: AD Classification: SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Orphanet

ENSG00000285681 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

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

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.86).
