Division of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes, Ulm University Medical Center RCV003318516 SCV003761543 pathogenic Obesity due to congenital leptin deficiency 2023-01-25 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The Pro64Ser variant in LEP was detected in the homozygous state in a male child of two healthy, non-obese white European parents who are second-degree cousins. The variant was absent from databases including the Exome Variant Server (EVS) (ESP6500SI-V2), International Genome Sample Resource (IGSR), and gnomAD (v2.1.1). The affected child displayed intense hyperphagia, impaired satiety, rapid weight gain, and severe early-onset obesity with high circulating leptin levels matching the clinical presentation of congenital leptin dysfunction. in vitro functional studies demonstrated that the Pro64Ser variant does not affect leptin production, leptin secretion, or leptin receptor binding, but does impair leptin receptor activation. The leptin Pro64Ser variant triggers negligible signaling engaging the leptin receptor and behaves as a competitive antagonist in the presence of non-variant leptin. According to ACMG standards and guidelines (PMID: 25741868), the Pro64Ser variant can be classified as pathogenic (PS3/PM1/PM2/PP2/PP3/PP4). Diagnostic investigations excluded Prader-Willi and Bardet-Biedl syndromes as well as pathogenic changes in the LEPR gene.
