Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points: 6P and 1B. PM1 PM2 PM5 BP4

The NM_001110792.2(MECP2):​c.685C>G​(p.Pro229Ala) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000911 in 1,098,262 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. There are 1 hemizygotes in GnomAD. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P229L) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 6 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-154031178-G-A is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 236302.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.35758585).
