Rett syndrome Pathogenic:11
The heterozygous c.401C>G (p.Ser134Cys) missense variant identified in the MECP2 gene is a known pathogenic variant and has been reported in multiple unrelated individuals affected with Rett syndrome [PMID:10767337; PMID:12661945; PMID:21228398; PMID:26418480; PMID: 31164858]. The variant has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar by multiple independent laboratories [Variation ID: 143562]. The variant is absent from gnomAD(v3) suggesting it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in that database. The variant affects an evolutionarily conserved residue and is predicted deleterious by multiple in silico prediction tools [CADD score = 27.7, REVEL score = 0.988). Functional studies have suggested that the c.401C>G (p.Ser134Cys) variant destabilizes the MBD domain of the MECP2 protein and reduces its ability to bind and cluster heterochromatin [PMID: 26418480; PMID: 21831886]. Based on the available evidence, the heterozygous c.401C>G (p.Ser134Cys) missense variant identified in the MECP2 gene is reported as Pathogenic. -

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: This variant has been identified as a de novo occurrence in at least 2 individuals with Rett syndrome, without confirmation of paternity and maternity (PM6_Strong). (PMID: 17089071, 10991688, 11269512) Has been observed in at least 5 individuals with phenotypes consistent with MECP2-related disease (PS4). PMID: 17407838, 17387578, 11269512, 17089071, 11738864, 10991688, 10814718, ClinVar Variation ID: 143562) Computational prediction analysis tools suggests a deleterious impact (REVEL score>= 0.75) (PP3). This variant is absent from gnomAD (PM2_Supporting). -

Variant summary: MECP2 c.401C>G (p.Ser134Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Methyl-CpG DNA binding domain (IPR001739) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 181626 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.401C>G has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Rett Syndrome, in some cases as a de novo mutation (example: Chapleau_2013, Li_2007, Neul_2008, Petel-Galil_2006, Roende_2011, Zahorakova_2007). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. In functional studies, the variant has been reported to reduce the ability of the MECP2 protein to bind and cluster heterochromatin and was shown to cause destabilization of the methyl-CpG-binding domain of the protein (example: Agarwal_2011, Kucukkal_2015). Four other ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Predicted Consequence/Location: The variant is located in a mutational hot spot and/or well-established functional domain in which established pathogenic variants have been reported (PMID: 34837432). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.99 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92); 3Cnet: 0.93 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.72 and precision 0.9)]. Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000143562 /PMID: 10767337). Different missense changes at the same codon (p.Ser146Phe, p.Ser146Pro) have been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000143563 /PMID: 15526954, 15737703). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

The c.401C>G;p.(Ser134Cys) missense variant has been observed in affected individual(s) and ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (ClinVar ID: 143562; PMID: 10814718; PMID: 11738864; PMID: 17089071; PMID: 12655490; PMID: 21160487; PMID: 11738883; PMID: 18337588) - PS4. The variant is located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain (MBD) - PM1. This variant is not present in population databases (rs61748390- gnomAD; ABraOM no frequency - http://abraom.ib.usp.br/) - PM2. Pathogenic missense variant in this residue have been reported (ClinVar ID: 143563) - PM5. The variant was assumed de novo, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity (PMID: 10767337; 23696494; 22182064) - PM6. Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product - PP3. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic. -

Published functional studies suggest reduced ability of the MECP2 protein to bind and cluster heterochromatin (PMID: 21831886, 26418480); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 12843318, 10767337, 11269512, 24508304, 21228398, 26418480, 12661945, 28477699, 29428602, 31164858, 32472557, 35982159, 31440721, 21831886) -

Severe neonatal-onset encephalopathy with microcephaly Pathogenic:1
This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 134 of the MECP2 protein (p.Ser134Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Rett syndrome (PMID: 10767337, 10814718, 11738864, 11738883, 12655490, 17089071, 18337588, 21160487, 22182064, 23696494). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 143562). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MECP2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MECP2 function (PMID: 26418480). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
The c.401C>G (p.S134C) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 3) of the MECP2 gene. This alteration results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 401, causing the serine (S) at amino acid position 134 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). This mutation has been detected in individuals with typical and atypical Rett syndrome, including several de novo occurrences (Li, 2007; Liebhaber, 2003; Vacca, 2001; Cheadle, 2000; Huppke, 2000). Based on internal structural analysis, this alteration impairs a non-specific protein-DNA interaction that is important for function (Ho, 2008). In addition, in one functional study using mouse myoblasts, authors show that this mutation significantly decreased chromocenter clustering compared to wildtype indicating a reduction in the ability of this variant to bind heterochromatin (Agarwal, 2011). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
MECP2-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The MECP2 c.401C>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ser134Cys. This variant has been reported to be causative for Rett Syndrome in multiple unrelated patients (Weaving et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 12655490; Li et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17089071; Hadzsiev et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21160487), including at least three patients in which the variant occurred de novo (Cheadle et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 10767337; Zhang et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22182064; Chapleau et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23696494). Functional studies have demonstrated this variant impacts the ability of MECP2 to interact with heterochromatin (Kucukkal et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26418480). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
