Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_001110792.2(MECP2):​c.47_57dupGCGAGGAGGAG​(p.Arg20AlafsTer28) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar 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]

Centre for Population Genomics, CPG

Significance: Likely 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 2.0, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. At least the following criteria are met: This variant is predicted to result in loss of function, and LoF is a known mechanism of disease (PVS1). This variant is absent from gnomAD (PM2_Supporting). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.47_57dup11 variant, located in coding exon 1 of the MECP2 gene, results from a duplication of GCGAGGAGGAG at nucleotide position 47, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.R20Afs*28). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
