Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP4BP7BS1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The allele frequency of the c.714G>A p.Gly238= variant in MECP2 is 0.008% in the African/African American 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 silent p.Gly238= variant is not predicted to affect splicing using multiple computational tools and does not affect a highly conserved nucleotide (BP4, BP7). In summary, the c.714G>A p.Gly238= variant in MECP2 is classified as Likely Benign based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (BS1, BP4, BP7).

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]
