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]

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -21 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.55).
BP6
Variant X-154031078-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chrX-154031078-G-A is described in ClinVar as Benign/Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 143681.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BP7
Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.108 with no splicing effect.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.000607 (666/1098102) while in subpopulation EAS AF = 0.000762 (23/30201). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000653. There are 1 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 216 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 35. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 36 XL,Unknown,AD gene.
