Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PS3_Supporting PS2 PP1 PM2_Supporting PM1 PS4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The p.Arg306Cys variant in MECP2 has been reported as a de novo occurrence (biological parentage both confirmed and unconfirmed) in at least 3 individuals with Rett Syndrome (PMID 10577905, 11309679, 19189931; internal database, GeneDx) (PS2_very strong). This variant has been observed in at least 4 other individuals with Rett syndrome (PMID 24511209, 23238081, RettBase) (PS4). The p.Arg306Cys variant occurs in the well-characterized transcriptional repression domain (TRD) functional domain of MECP2 (PMID 21326358, 23770565) (PM1). This variant is absent in gnomAD (PM2_supporting). Computational prediction analysis tools suggests a deleterious impact; however, this information does not predict clinical significance on its own (PP3). In summary, p.Arg306Cys variant in MECP2 is classified as Pathogenic for Rett syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (PS2_very strong, PS4, PM1, PM2_supporting, PP3).

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]
