Genes affected

UCP3 (HGNC:12519): (uncoupling protein 3) Mitochondrial uncoupling proteins (UCP) are members of the larger family of mitochondrial anion carrier proteins (MACP). UCPs separate oxidative phosphorylation from ATP synthesis with energy dissipated as heat, also referred to as the mitochondrial proton leak. UCPs facilitate the transfer of anions from the inner to the outer mitochondrial membrane and the return transfer of protons from the outer to the inner mitochondrial membrane. They also reduce the mitochondrial membrane potential in mammalian cells. The different UCPs have tissue-specific expression; this gene is primarily expressed in skeletal muscle. This gene's protein product is postulated to protect mitochondria against lipid-induced oxidative stress. Expression levels of this gene increase when fatty acid supplies to mitochondria exceed their oxidation capacity and the protein enables the export of fatty acids from mitochondria. UCPs contain the three solcar protein domains typically found in MACPs. Two splice variants have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]

The UCP3 c.844C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg282Cys. This variant has been reported in both lean and obese individuals in an obesity study (Chung et al. 1999. PubMed ID: 10480626). The functional study showed that this variant affects UCP3 function (Hagen et al. 1999. PubMed ID: 10431807). This variant is reported in 0.14% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2181152). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 282 of the UCP3 protein (p.Arg282Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs8179179, gnomAD 0.2%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with obesity (PMID: 10480626). 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 expected to disrupt UCP3 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects UCP3 function (PMID: 10431807). 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. -
