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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease,
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant X-154031452-T-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-154031452-T-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 156067.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chrX-154031452-T-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	curation	RettBASE	Feb 18, 2008	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	curation	Centre for Population Genomics, CPG	Oct 12, 2023	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 gnomAD (PM2_Supporting). Computational prediction analysis tools suggests a deleterious impact (SpliceAI >=0.2). Has been observed in at least 2 individuals with phenotypes consistent with MECP2-related disease (PS4_Supporting, PMID: 10814718, PMID: 17089071). -
