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]

This variant is absent in the gnomAD Exomes. It is submitted to ClinVar as Likely Pathogenic/ Pathogenic (multiple submitters). This variant is predicted to cause a loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease-causing.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The MECP2 c.1157_1197del (p.Leu386Hisfs*5) variant alters the translational reading frame of the MECP2 mRNA and causes the premature termination of MECP2 protein synthesis. This variant is not expected to cause loss of protein expression through nonsense-mediated decay. However, it disrupts a substantial portion of the protein, and therefore, is expected to disrupt function. This variant has been reported in the published literature in multiple individuals affected with Rett Syndrome (PMID: 10767337 (2000), 11241840 (2011), 15526954 (2004), 16473305 (2006), 23696494 (2013), 23810759 (2013)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The MECP2 c.1157_1197del, p.Leu386fs variant (rs267608327) is a recurrent deletion found in individuals diagnosed with RETT syndrome (Bienvenu 2002, Chae 2002, Cheadle 2000, Hoffbuhr 2001, Philippe 2006, Ravn 2011, Yaron 2002, Zahorakova 2007), and has associated with both classical disease and a milder form known as the preserved speech variant (Conforti 2002, De Bona 2008, Ravn 2011). It is listed as pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID: 143369), but not observed in the general population databases (1000 Genomes Project, Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database). The variant introduces a frameshift, and is predicted to result in a truncated protein. Based on the above information, the variant is classified as pathogenic. References: Bienvenu T et al.

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu386Hisfs*5) in the MECP2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 101 amino acid(s) of the MECP2 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Rett syndrome (PMID: 10767337, 11746022, 11913567, 12325033, 16473305, 17089071, 17142618, 17387578, 19914908, 21878110). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as c.1157_1197del41 and c.1157del41. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 143369). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
