Genetic variants help define the role of the MC4R C-terminus in signaling and cell surface stability

Screening 92,445 subjects in the Geisinger-Regeneron DiscovEHR cohort, we identified 5 patients heterozygous for nonsense mutations causing early terminations at Glu307 or Leu328 on the C-terminus of melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R). Two Q307Ter carriers are severely obese (BMI > 40), while one is...
