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]

Variant summary: MECP2 c.1447G>A (p.Glu483Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.5e-06 in 183484 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1447G>A in individuals affected with Rett Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and all of them classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 483 of the MECP2 protein (p.Glu483Lys). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.001%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autism and/or developmental delay (PMID: 33057194, 35982159). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 279847). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MECP2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The E483K variant in the MECP2 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The E483K variant is observed in 1/80,146 (0.0012%) alleles from individuals of non-Finnish European background in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). The E483K variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. In-silico analyses, including protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, support that this variant does not alter protein structure/function.We interpret E483K as a variant of uncertain significance. -
