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

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -12 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.89).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population sas. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.0262 (2911/110926) while in subpopulation SAS AF= 0.0413 (109/2638). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0392. There are 60 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 806 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. This position pass quality control queck.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAd at 60 XL gene
