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]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the MECP2 gene. The P405L variant has been reported previously as a de novo variant in the hemizygous state in an individual with cognitive impairment, ADHD, and stereotypic hand movements (Campos et al., 2009). The P405L variant has also been reported previously in the hemizygous state in an individual with cognitive impairment, epilepsy, autism, and stereotypic hand movements; whose mother and sister with borderline intelligence were found to be heterozyous for the variant (Moog et al., 2006). The P405L variant is observed in 8/27147 (0.03%) alleles from individuals of Latino background, including 2 unrelated hemizygous individuals in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). The P405L variant is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. However, in-silico analyses, including protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, support that this variant does not alter protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant.

Significance:Benign
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 benign. At least the following criteria are met: The allele frequency of this variant in at least one population in gnomAD is higher than the 0.03% threshold defined by the ClinGen Rett/Angelman-like Expert Panel for Rett/AS-like Disorders VCEP 3.0 (BA1).

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

c.1214C>T (p.Pro405Leu) is a missense mutation that occurs at a conserved position, and 4/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome. Pro405 is a highly conserved amino acid in the carboxy terminal domain, which affects the binding of MECP2 to DNA. However, functional studies have not been carried out to determine the functional impact of this change. The variant has been observed in 1 hemizygous male control from the ExAC cohort, suggesting this variant could be low penetrance, benign, or a mild mutation. The variant has also been cited in at least 2 male intellectually disabled patients (1 de novo occurrence with no family history of ID and 1 maternally inherited with borderline intelligence on both sides of the family). Taken together, the c.1214C>T variant in MECP2 is classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) until additional functional or co-segregation studies are available.

Significance:Benign
Review Status:reviewed by expert panel
Collection Method:curation

The allele frequency of the p.Pro405Leu (NM_004992.3) variant in MECP2 is 0.029% in Latino sub population in gnomAD, which is high enough to meet the BS1 criteria based on thresholds defined by the ClinGen Rett/Angelman-like Expert Panel for Rett/AS-like conditions (BS1). The p.Pro405Leu variant is observed in at least 2 unaffected individuals (GeneDx internal database)(BS2). In summary, the p.Pro405Leu variant in MECP2 is classified as benign based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (BS1, BS2).
