Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BP5BS2

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The p.Gly231Arg variant in MECP2 (NM_004992.3) is observed in 3 unaffected individuals (PMID:28250423, internal database) (BS2). The p.Gly243Arg variant is reported in one male with autism, and one female with intellectual and developmental disabilities and seizures (PMID:28250423, 24321989) (PS4 not met). The p.Gly231Arg variant is found in a patient with an alternate molecular basis of disease (internal database) (BP5). In summary, the p.Gly231Arg variant in MECP2 is classified as Likely Benign based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (BS2, BP5).

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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxApr 14, 2016The G231R variant was identified previously in a female with seizures and intellectual and developmental disabilities; however, no additional information was provided to unequivocally demonstrate that it is pathogenic and parental studies were not performed (Sundaram et al., 2014). It was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The G231R 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. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved in mammals, and missense variants in a nearby residue (P225R, P225T) have been reported in RettBASE and the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with Rett syndrome (MECP2 Variation Database; Stenson et al., 2014). However, in silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the 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. -
