MedlinePlus Genetics: 42 Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) deficiency causes severe obesity that begins at an early age. In addition to obesity, people with this condition have low levels of a hormone known as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and tend to have red hair and pale skin.Affected infants are usually a normal weight at birth, but they are constantly hungry, which leads to excessive feeding (hyperphagia). The babies continuously gain weight and are severely obese by age 1. Affected individuals experience excessive hunger and remain obese for life. It is unclear if these individuals are prone to weight-related conditions like cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes.Low levels of ACTH lead to a condition called adrenal insufficiency, which occurs when the pair of small glands on top of the kidneys (the adrenal glands) do not produce enough hormones. Adrenal insufficiency often results in periods of severely low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in people with POMC deficiency, which can cause seizures, elevated levels of a toxic substance called bilirubin in the blood (hyperbilirubinemia), and a reduced ability to produce and release a digestive fluid called bile (cholestasis). Without early treatment, adrenal insufficiency can be fatal.Pale skin that easily burns when exposed to the sun and red hair are common in POMC deficiency, although not everyone with the condition has these characteristics. MalaCards based summary: Obesity, Early-Onset, with Adrenal Insufficiency and Red Hair, also known as obesity due to pro-opiomelanocortin deficiency, is related to premature ovarian failure 7 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. An important gene associated with Obesity, Early-Onset, with Adrenal Insufficiency and Red Hair is POMC (Proopiomelanocortin). The drugs Pharmaceutical Solutions and alpha-MSH have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include skin, pituitary and thyroid, and related phenotypes are increased adipose tissue and polyphagia OMIM®: 57 OBAIRH is an autosomal recessive endocrine disorder characterized by early-onset obesity due to severe hyperphagia, pigmentary abnormalities, mainly pale skin and red hair, and secondary hypocortisolism. In the neonatal period, affected individuals are prone to hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, and cholestasis that may result in death if not treated. The disorder results from mutation in the POMC gene, which encodes a preproprotein that is processed into a range of bioactive peptides, including alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) and ACTH (summary by Kuhnen et al., 2016 and Clement et al., 2008). (609734) (Updated 08-Dec-2022) GARD: 19 Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) deficiency is characterized by severe obesity that begins at an early age. Affected infants are usually a normal weight at birth, but they are constantly hungry, which leads to excessive feeding and weight gain during the first year and throughout life. In addition, people with this condition have low levels of a hormone known as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) which leads to adrenal insufficiency. They also tend to have red hair and pale skin. POMC deficiency is caused by genetic changes in the POMC gene. The condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: 73 An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by early-onset obesity due to severe hyperphagia, pigmentary abnormalities, mainly pale skin and red hair, and secondary hypocortisolism. Orphanet: 58 Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) deficiency is a form of monogenic obesity resulting in severe early-onset obesity, adrenal insufficiency, red hair and pale skin. |
