Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -4 ACMG points: 0P and 4B. BS2

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.748C>T p.Arg250Cys variant in MECP2 (NM_004992.3) is present in 1 XY and 4 XX individuals in gnomAD (0.0034% in the European non-Finnish population) (not sufficient to meet BS1 criteria). The p.Arg250Cys variant is observed in at least 2 unaffected individuals (GeneDx internal data) (BS2). The p.Arg250Cys variant has been observed in at least 1 individual with RTT-like disease (PMID 30405208); however PS4 cannot be applied at any strength due to the gnomAD frequency. Computational prediction analysis tools are inconclusive for this variant (criteria not met). Alternative missense variants (p.Arg250Gly and p.Arg250His) have previously been identified within this codon, however they are not considered to be pathogenic variants (PMID 30405208; RettBASE: RettSyndrome.org Variation Database mecp2.chw.edu.au). In the absence of conflicting evidence, this is sufficient evidence to classify as likely benign based on the specifications defined by the ClinGen Rett and Angelman-like Disorders Variant Curation Expert Panel. In summary, the c.748C>T p.Arg250Cys variant in MECP2 is classified as Likely Benign based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (BS2).

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]
