Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PS3_SupportingPM6PP3PP4PM2_SupportingPS4_SupportingPM5_Strong

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The p.Arg133Leu variant in MECP2 (NM_004992.3) occurs in the de novo state (biological parentage unconfirmed) in an individual with classic Rett syndrome (PMID 10854091) (PM6). The p.Arg133Leu variant has been observed in at least 1 other individual with classic Rett syndrome (PMID 19722030) (PS4_supporting, PP4). Multiple pathogenic missense variants have been previously identified within this codon which indicates that this residue is critical to the function of the protein (PMID 30569584, 23421866, 11738879, 26418480, 16473305, 22368975; ClinVar) (PM5_strong). The p.Arg133Leu variant in MECP2 is absent from gnomAD (PM2_supporting). Computational prediction analysis tools suggests a deleterious impact; however, this information does not predict clinical significance on its own (PP3). MECP2 chromatin binding assays have shown that this variant impacts protein function (PMID 27929079, 22923521) (PS3_supporting). In summary, the p.Arg133Leu variant in MECP2 is classified as Pathogenic for Rett syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (PM5_strong, PM6, PS3_supporting, PS4_supporting, PM2_supporting, PP3 + PP4).

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]
