Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -8 ACMG points: 1P and 9B. PS4_SupportingBP5BS1BS2

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The allele frequency of the p.Pro419Ser variant in MECP2 (NM_004992.3) is 0.02% in "Other" 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) and additionally is present in three male individuals in gnomAD. The p.Pro419Ser variant is observed in at least 7 unaffected individuals (Baylor Genetic internal database, GeneDx internal database, PMID 16225173) (BS2). The p.Pro419Ser variant is found in a patient with an alternate molecular basis of disease (Invitae internal database) (BP5). The p.Pro419Ser variant has been observed in at least 2 individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (PMID 32457807, 16225173) (PS4_supporting), however in these studies MECP2 was the only gene sequenced. In summary the p.Pro419Ser variant in MECP2 is classified as benign for Rett Syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (BS1, BS2, BP5) and the PS4_supporting evidence is not considered inconsistent with the final benign classification.

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]
