Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2_SupportingPVS1_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The p.Glu483Ter variant in MECP2 (NM_004992.4) is predicted to cause a premature stop codon that leads to a truncated or absent protein in a gene where loss-of-function is an established mechanism. While loss-of-function variants are commonly observed in affected individuals in this gene, there is a paucity of these variants in this region of the gene to date (PVS1_Moderate). The p.Glu483Ter variant in MECP2 is absent from gnomAD (PM2_Supporting). This variant was reported in two male siblings with autism who inherited the p.Glu483Ter variant from their unaffected mother (PMID 23352163). In summary, the p.Glu483Ter variant in MECP2 is classified as variant of unknown significance based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (PVS1_Moderate, 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]
