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.

Melanoma, cutaneous malignant, susceptibility to, 5 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 14, 2023In 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. 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 MC1R protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 430181). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with melanoma (PMID: 16809487, 16982779, 24335900, 24982914). This variant is present in population databases (rs779504604, gnomAD 0.01%). This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 35 of the MC1R protein (p.Cys35Tyr). -

BP1 Benign Supporting: 44 out of 45 non-VUS missense variants in gene MC1R are benign = 97.8% > threshold of 51.0%, and 85 out of 169 clinically reported variants in gene MC1R are benign = 50.3% > threshold of 24.0%. This variant was not reported in patients with breast cancer. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease.

not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMay 22, 2017The C35Y variant in the MC1R gene has been reported previously in association with blue eyes and blond hair in an individual who was also heterozygous for a second MC1R variant (Fargnoli et al., 2003). The C35Y has also been identified in control individuals (Fernandez et al., 2007; Ibarrola-Villava et al., 2010). The C35Y variant is observed in 8/62392 (0.01%) alleles from individuals of non-Finnish background in the ExAC dataset, and no individuals were reported to be homozygous (Lek et al., 2016). The C35Y variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved in mammals, and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. We interpret C35Y as a variant of uncertain significance. -
