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]

This variant has been collected from RettBASE and curated to current modified ACMG/AMP criteria.Based on the classification scheme defined by the ClinGen Rett/Angelman-like Expert Panel for Rett/AS-like Disorders to the ACMG/AMP Variant Interpretation Guidelines VCEP 2.0 , this variant is classified as Benign . At least the following criteria are met: The allele frequency of this variant in at least one population in gnomAD is higher than the 0.03% threshold defined by the ClinGen Rett/Angelman-like Expert Panel for Rett/AS-like Disorders VCEP 2.0 (BA1). Synonymous or intronic variant outside donor and acceptor splice regions where splicing prediction algorithms do not support significant splicing alteration (spliceAI score <=0.1) (BP4, BP7). -
