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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.22 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PP5: Variant X-154030625-GCTGGTGGGGTCCTCGGAGCTCTCGGGCTCAGGTGGAGGTGGGGGCAGGGGTGGGAGCAGTGGCACGGGGGC-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-154030625-GCTGGTGGGGTCCTCGGAGCTCTCGGGCTCAGGTGGAGGTGGGGGCAGGGGTGGGAGCAGTGGCACGGGGGC-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 189658.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chrX-154030625-GCTGGTGGGGTCCTCGGAGCTCTCGGGCTCAGGTGGAGGTGGGGGCAGGGGTGGGAGCAGTGGCACGGGGGC-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

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 pathogenic. At least the following criteria are met: Predicted to result in loss of function, and LOF is a known mechanism of disease (PVS1). This variant is absent from gnomAD (PM2_Supporting). Has been observed in at least 2 individuals with phenotypes consistent with MECP2-related disease (PS4_Supporting). ( PMID 11241840, PMID 15737703, ClinVar Variation ID: 189658) -

Significance: Pathogenic

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ala378Profs*3) in the MECP2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 109 amino acid(s) of the MECP2 protein. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Rett syndrome (PMID: 11241840, 15737703, 19914908). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the MECP2 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Tyr450Leufs*37) have been determined to be pathogenic (Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189658). -
