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]

Variant inherited in family, segregates with childhood cognitive regression/intellectual disability with or without childhood onset schizophrenia. Cognitive regression reported after 5 years in a male affected, and after 9 years in females. Adult onset schizophrenia is also present in the family, without cognitive regression, but does not segregate with variant. It cannot be concluded with certainty that the schizophrenia is a result of this variant. This same variant has also recently been reported de novo in a 9 year old girl with a diagnosis of atypical Rett, with cognitive regression and regression of speech and fine motor function after 5 years (PMID: 29137252) -
