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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.302 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-154030800-CCAGGGCTCTTACAGGTCTT-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-154030800-CCAGGGCTCTTACAGGTCTT-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 143303.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chrX-154030800-CCAGGGCTCTTACAGGTCTT-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	curation	RettBASE	Jan 21, 2008	- -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	curation	Centre for Population Genomics, CPG	Mar 18, 2024	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 3.0, this variant is classified as likely 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). -
