Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PS2PP3PM2_SupportingPM1PS4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The p.Arg133Cys (NM_004992) variant in MECP2 has been reported as an assumed de novo occurrence in at least 4 individuals with Rett Syndrome (PMID:10814718, PMID:10991688, PMID:12707946) (PS2_very-strong). The p.Arg133Cys variant has been observed in at least 4 other individuals with Rett Syndrome (PMID:10814718, PMID:10991688, PMID:12707946, PMID:17387578, PMID:16473305) (PS4). The p.Arg133Cys variant occurs in the well-characterized (Methyl-DNA binding [MDB]: aa 90-162) functional domain of the MECP2 (PM1). Computational prediction analysis tools suggests a deleterious impact; however, this information does not predict clinical significance on its own (PP3). The p.Arg133Cys variant in MECP2 is absent from gnomAD (PM2_Supporting). In summary the p.Arg133Cys variant in MECP2 is classified as Pathogenic for Rett Syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (PS2_very-strong, PS4, PM1, PP3, PM2_supporting).

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]
