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]

Rett syndrome Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedcurationRettBASEJan 21, 2008- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submittercurationCentre for Population Genomics, CPGJan 10, 2024This 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). Has been observed in at least 5 individuals with phenotypes consistent with MECP2-related disease (PS4). ClinVar Variation ID: 143360, PMID: 23696494, 12180070 , 16473305 This variant has been identified as a de novo occurrence in an individual with Rett syndrome without confirmation of paternity and maternity (PM6). PMID 23696494 This variant is absent from gnomAD (PM2_Supporting). -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 04, 2024Identified in two unrelated females with Rett syndrome; however, in both published cases the c.1155_1200del46 variant was likely part of a complex allele, as one of the patients also harbored an in-frame insertion/deletion while the other had a second frameshift variant in MECP2 (PMID: 11738860, 12655490); Also reported as an isolated pathogenic variant in two unrelated females in RettBASE; however, no additional information is available regarding the phenotype or family history (PMID: 12673788); Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 12655490, 16473305, 19914908, 12872250, 11738860, 12673788, Shields2024[Abstract]) -

Severe neonatal-onset encephalopathy with microcephaly Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 17, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu386Alafs*8) 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 present in population databases (rs267608329, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Rett syndrome (PMID: 16473305, 19914908). This variant is also known as c.1152_1197del. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 143360). This variant disrupts a region of the MECP2 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Pro389*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17089071, 17387578, 19914908, 20151026, 21982064). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
