Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNeuberg Supratech Reference Laboratories Pvt Ltd, Neuberg Centre for Genomic Medicine-The missense variant p.T158M in MECP2 (NM_004992.3) has been reported in multiple patients with Rett syndrome (Das DK et al; Brown K et al).It is the most common mutation in the Rett database.Functional studies have shown a damaging effect (Agarwal N et al). The variant has been submitted to ClinVar as Pathogenic. The p.T158M variant is novel (not in any individuals) in gnomAD Exomes and is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes. The p.T158M missense variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The threonine residue at codon 158 of MECP2 is conserved in all mammalian species. The nucleotide c.473 in MECP2 is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testing3billionMar 22, 2022Same or different nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000011811, PMID:10508514). A different missense change at the same codon has been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000143590, PMID:11269512). The variant is located in a mutational hot spot and/or well-established functional domain in which established pathogenic variants have been reported. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.945>=0.6, 3CNET: 0.995>=0.75). It is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLifecell International Pvt. Ltd-A Heterozygous Missense variant c.473C>T in Exon 4 of the MECP2 gene that results in the amino acid substitution p.Thr158Met was identified. The observed variant is novel in gnomAD exomes and genomes. The severity of the impact of this variant on the protein is medium, based on the effect of the protein and REVEL score . Rare Exome Variant Ensemble Learner (REVEL) is an ensembl method for predicting the pathogenicity of missense variants based on a combination of scores from 13 individual tools: MutPred, FATHMM v2.3, VEST 3.0, PolyPhen-2, SIFT, PROVEAN, MutationAssessor, MutationTaster, LRT, GERP++, SiPhy, phyloP, and phastCons. The REVEL score for an individual missense variant can range from 0 to 1, with higher scores reflecting greater likelihood that the variant is disease-causing. ClinVar has also classified this variant as Pathogenic [Variant ID : 11811]. This variant has previously been reported for Rett syndrome by Lee, Stephen Sung Jae, Mimi Wan, and Uta Francke., 2001. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MECP2 protein function by Ballestar, Esteban, Timur M. Yusufzai, and Alan P. Wolffe., 2000. For these reasons this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Severe neonatal-onset encephalopathy with microcephaly Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 05, 2022This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 158 of the MECP2 protein (p.Thr158Met). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Rett syndrome and is considered one of the most common causes of the condition (PMID: 10508514, 18337588, 23421866, 26647311; RettBASE). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 11811). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MECP2 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MECP2 function (PMID: 10852707, 11058114, 11738866, 12843318, 21831886, 26647311). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Lurie Children's Hospital of ChicagoMar 30, 2021MECP2 NM_004992.3 exon 4 p.Thr158Met (c.473C>T): This variant is one of the most common mutations associated with Rett syndrome, identified in several individuals (n>100) including males, with Rett syndrome. This variant has been identified to segregate with disease and has also been reported to occur as de novo (Selected publications: Amir 1999 PMID: 10508514, Villard 2000 PMID:11071498, Neul 2008 PMID:18337588, Bao 2013 PMID:23421866, RettBASE http://mecp2.chw.edu.au/). This variant is not present in large control databases. This variant is present in ClinVar, with multiple labs classifying this variant as pathogenic (Variation ID:11811). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools suggest that this variant may impact the protein. In addition, in vivo functional studies support a deleterious effect of this variant, suggesting impaired binding stability and selectivity for methylated DNA (Yusufzai 2000 PMID:11058114, Bao 2013 PMID:23421866). Furthermore, this variant occurs in exon 4; the vast majority of pathogenic variants are identified in exon 4 which encodes for the methyl binding domain and transcription repression domain. Loss of function has been established for this gene, but missense variants have been described as pathogenic as well. (Philippe 2006 16473305). In summary, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 29, 2020The p.T158M pathogenic mutation (also known as c.473C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the MECP2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 473. The threonine at codon 158 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with similar properties. As one of the most common Rett syndrome mutations, this mutation accounts for 10-13% of MECP2 mutations and has been seen in many individuals with classic Rett syndrome as well as in mildly affected individuals with preserved speech (Amir RE, et al. Nat. Genet. 1999;23(2):185-8.; Archer HL, et al. J. Med. Genet. 2006;43(5):451-6; Bebbington A, et al. J. Med. Genet. 2010;47(4):242-8; Archer H et al. J. Med. Genet., 2007 Feb;44:148-52; Huppke P et al. Hum. Mol. Genet., 2000 May;9:1369-75; The Deciphering Developmental Disorders Study. Nature. 2017 02;542(7642):433-438.; Guo H et al. Mol. Autism. 2018 Dec;9:64.; Tsang MH et al. Epilepsia Open. 2019 Mar;4(1):63-72.). This mutation has been documented in severely affected males, as well as in unaffected females with confirmed skewed X-chromosome inactivation that favors the expression of the normal allele (Villard L, et al. Neurology 2000;55(8):1188-93). In one study, in vitro functional analyses indicated that this mutation had intermediate affinity to heterochromatin and moderate effects on transcriptional repressive activity (Kudo S, J. et al. Med. Genet. 2003;40(7):487-93). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesSep 14, 2018The MECP2 c.473C>T; p.Thr158Met variant (rs28934906), is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with classical Rett syndrome (see link to RettBASE and references therein). This variant is reported as pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 11811), and is absent from general population databases (1000 Genomes Project, Exome Variant Server, and Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The threonine at codon 158 is highly conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is deleterious. Based on available information, the p.Thr158Met variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Link to RettBASE (http://mecp2.chw.edu.au/cgi-bin/mecp2/search/process-search.cgi) -
