Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PS3_Supporting PM6 PP3 PM2_Supporting PM5 PM1 PS4_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The p.Phe157Ile variant in MECP2 (NM_004992.3) occurs in the de novo state (biological parentage unconfirmed) in an individual with a clinical phenotype suggestive of MECP2-related conditions (PMID 16832102) (PM6). The p.Phe157Ile variant in MECP2 has been observed in 2 additional individuals with Rett syndrome (RettBASE) (PS4_moderate). The p.Phe157Ile variant occurs in the well-characterized methyl-DNA binding functional domain of MECP2 (PM1). A pathogenic missense variant (p.Phe157Leu) has been previously identified within this codon which indicates that this residue is critical to the function of the protein (PMID 19722030, 16225173, 22476991, 30536762, 15675358, ClinVar) (PM5). The p.Phe157Ile variant in MECP2 is absent from gnomAD (PM2_supporting). A MECP2 chromatin binding assay has shown that this variant impacts protein function (PMID 27929079) (PS3_supporting). Computational prediction analysis tools suggest a deleterious impact; however, this information does not predict clinical significance on its own (PP3). In summary, the p.Phe157Ile variant in MECP2 is classified as Likely Pathogenic for MECP2-related conditions based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (PM1, PM5, PM6, PS4_moderate, PM2_supporting, PS3_supporting, PP3 ).

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]
