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]

Centre for Population Genomics, CPG

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: curation

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 likely pathogenic. At least the following criteria are met: Occurs in the well-characterized Transcriptional repression domain (TRD) of MECP2 (PM1). Protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions in a non-repeat region (PM4). 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).(ClinVar Variation ID: 189732, PMID 22277191) -

Collection Method: curation

The p.Ile293_Ser350del variant in MECP2 (NM_004992.3) causes an in-frame deletion of 58 amino acids in a non-repeat region of MECP2, which results in a deletion of greater than 10% of the total protein length (PM4_strong). The p.Ile293_Ser350del variant occurs in the well-characterized transcription repression functional domain of the MECP2 gene (PM1). The p.Ile293_Ser350del variant has been observed in at least 2 individuals with Rett syndrome or atypical Rett syndrome (PMID 22277191, internal database - Invitae) (PS4_supporting). In summary, the p.Ile293_Ser350del variant in MECP2 is classified as Likely Pathogenic for Rett syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (PM4_strong, PM1, PS4_supporting). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant has been observed in individual(s) with atypical Rett syndrome (PMID: 22277191). 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.Pro302His) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10944854, 15737703, 16225173). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189732). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant, c.871_1044del, results in the deletion of 58 amino acid(s) of the MECP2 protein (p.Ile293_Ser350del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. -
