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]

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

The frameshift c.1196_1202del(p.Pro399LeufsTer20) variant in MECP2 gene has been reported previously in individual(s) affected with Rett syndrome (Hadzsiev K, et. al., 2011; Kárteszi J, et. al., 2004). The p.Pro399LeufsTer20 variant has been reported with allele frequency of 0.0008% in gnomAD Exomes and is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic. This variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Proline 399, changes this amino acid to Leucine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 20 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Pro399LeufsTer20. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: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 2.0, 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). This variant is absent from the NHLBI exome sequencing project (PM2_Supporting). It has been observed in at least 3 individuals with phenotypes consistent with MECP2-related disease (PS4_Moderate, RettBase internal database, PMID: 20031356, PMID: 21160487, PMID: 15389714). -

The c.1160_1166delCCCCACC pathogenic variant in the MECP2 gene has been reported previously in association with Rett syndrome (Hadzsiev et al., 2011; Karteszi et al., 2004; Monnerat et al., 2010). The deletion causes a frameshift starting with codon Proline 387, changes this amino acid to a Leucine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 20 of the new reading frame, denoted p.P387LfsX20. The c.1160_1166delCCCCACC variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation, as the last 100 amino acids are replaced with 19 incorrect ones. Additionally, this variant was not observed in approximately 6,300 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. -
