Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 20 ACMG points: 20P and 0B. PVS1 PS3 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_001110792.2(MECP2):​c.1193_1224delTGCCCCCACCTCCACCTGAGCCCGAGAGCTCC​(p.Leu398ArgfsTer8) variant causes a frameshift change. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV006304060: Published functional studies suggest this variant results in decreased number of neurites and smaller cell sizes in neural cells" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L398L) has been classified as Benign. The gene MECP2 is included in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry.

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

Specifications for MECP2 are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 20 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. There are 157 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PS3: PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV006304060: Published functional studies suggest this variant results in decreased number of neurites and smaller cell sizes in neural cells; however, additional studies are needed to validate the functional effect of this variant. PMID: 21074045
• PP5: Variant X-154030639-CGGAGCTCTCGGGCTCAGGTGGAGGTGGGGGCA-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-154030639-CGGAGCTCTCGGGCTCAGGTGGAGGTGGGGGCA-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 143366.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
