Genes affected
MECP2 (HGNC:6990): (methyl-CpG binding protein 2) DNA methylation is the major modification of eukaryotic genomes and plays an essential role in mammalian development. Human proteins MECP2, MBD1, MBD2, MBD3, and MBD4 comprise a family of nuclear proteins related by the presence in each of a methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD). Each of these proteins, with the exception of MBD3, is capable of binding specifically to methylated DNA. MECP2, MBD1 and MBD2 can also repress transcription from methylated gene promoters. In contrast to other MBD family members, MECP2 is X-linked and subject to X inactivation. MECP2 is dispensible in stem cells, but is essential for embryonic development. MECP2 gene mutations are the cause of most cases of Rett syndrome, a progressive neurologic developmental disorder and one of the most common causes of cognitive disability in females. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: MECP2 c.-187_-186delAG is located in the untranslated mRNA region upstream of the initiation codon. 5/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00025 in 44218 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The observed variant frequency is approximately 30 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in MECP2 causing Rett Syndrome phenotype (8.3e-06), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.-187_-186delAG in individuals affected with Rett Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Significance:Benign
Review Status:reviewed by expert panel
Collection Method:curation

The allele frequency of the c.-187_-186del variant in MECP2 (NM_004992.3) is 0.058% in European (non-Finnish) sub population and 0.033% in African/African-American sub population in gnomAD, which is high enough to be classified as benign based on thresholds defined by the ClinGen Rett/Angelman-like Expert Panel for Rett/AS-like conditions (BA1). In summary, the c.-187_-186del variant in MECP2 is classified as benign based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (BA1). -
