Description

In an obese (601665) 10-year-old Italian boy whose onset of obesity had been at the age of 2 years, Del Giudice et al. (2001) identified a G-to-C transversion at nucleotide 729 of the CART gene resulting in a leucine to phenylalanine substitution at codon 34 (L34F). The leucine at this position is conserved in human and rat. The L34F mutation segregated with severe obesity over 3 generations in this family and was not identified in the control population. Both he and his mother were found to have reduced resting energy expenditures.

Dominguez et al. (2004) transfected mouse pituitary corticotroph cells with wildtype CART and CART carrying the L34F mutation. They found that CART peptide levels in cells carrying the mutation were lower than levels found in cells carrying wildtype CART.
