Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_001110792.2(MECP2):c.1233_1234insC(p.Thr412HisfsTer5) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. P411P) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided | curation | RettBASE | Feb 18, 2008 | - - |
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | curation | Centre for Population Genomics, CPG | Oct 11, 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 a variant of uncertain significance. 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). - |

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories | Jul 14, 2021 | The MECP2 c.1197dupC; p.Thr400HisfsTer5 variant (rs267608612), also known as c.1194insC is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Rett syndrome (Fukuda 2005, RettBASE). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 143432). This variant is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant results in a premature termination codon in the last exon of the MECP2 gene. While this may not lead to nonsense-mediated decay, it is expected to create a truncated protein that would include a sequence of five amino acid residues not usually present. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be likely pathogenic. References: Fukuda T et al.
