Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PP1_ModeratePS3_SupportingPP3PM1PM5

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: Functional studies have shown that this variant shows partial reduction in heterochromatin binding (PMID 18989701) (PS3_supporting). The variant has been reported to segregate in three informative meioses (PMID 18989701, internal database) (PP1_Moderate). The p.Pro152Ala variant occurs in the well-characterized Methyl-DNA binding (MDB) functional domain of MECP2 (PM1). A pathogenic missense variant (p.Pro152Arg) has been previously identified within this codon which indicates that this residue is critical to the function of the protein (10767337) (PM5). Computational prediction analysis tools suggests a deleterious impact; however, this information does not predict clinical significance on its own (PP3). In summary, the p.Pro152Ala variant in MECP2 is classified as likely pathogenic for Rett syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (PS3_supporting, PP1_moderate, PM1, PM5, PP3).

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]
