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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 22 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 3 benign, 8 uncertain in NM_001110792.2
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrX-154030923-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 143738.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.969
• PP5: Variant X-154030924-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-154030924-G-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 143734.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Centre for Population Genomics, CPG

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: curation

This variant has been collected from RettBASE and curated to current modified ACMG/AMP criteria. Based on the classification scheme defined by the ClinGen Rett/Angelman-like Expert Panel for Rett/AS-like Disorders Specifications to the ACMG/AMP Variant Interpretation Guidelines VCEP 3.0, this variant is classified as pathogenic. At least the following criteria are met: Has been observed in at least 5 individuals with phenotypes consistent with MECP2-related disease (PS4). (PMID: 16473305, 10814718, 11245712, 12075494, 11738883, ClinVar Variation ID:143734) Occurs in the well-characterized Transcriptional repression domain (TRD) of MECP2 (PM1). This variant has been identified as a de novo occurrence in an individual with Rett syndrome without confirmation of paternity and maternity (PM6). (PMID: 10814718). This variant is absent from gnomAD (PM2_Supporting). Computational prediction analysis tools suggests a deleterious impact (REVEL score>= 0.75) (PP3). -
