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 Benign. Variant got -14 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.9).
• BP6: Variant X-154026890-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chrX-154026890-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Benign]. Clinvar id is 143261.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chrX-154026890-C-T is described in Lovd as [Benign].
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.0035 (390/111330) while in subpopulation NFE AF= 0.00553 (293/52940). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00501. There are 2 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 104 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. This position pass quality control queck.
• BS2: High Homozygotes in GnomAd at 2 XL gene
