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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.488 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-154031098-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-154031098-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 95200.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chrX-154031098-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: curation

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 Specifications to the ACMG/AMP Variant Interpretation Guidelines VCEP 3.0, this variant is classified as pathogenic. At least the following criteria are met: This variant is absent from gnomAD (PM2_Supporting). Has been observed in at least 5 individuals with phenotypes consistent with MECP2-related disease (PS4). (ClinVar ID 95200, RettBASE, (PMID: 35924478, 28394409, 22982301, 11402105, 15718369) Predicted to result in loss of function, and LOF is a known mechanism of disease (PVS1). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant (PVS1_VS). It is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (PM2). The variant has been reported multiple times as pathogenic (ClinVar ID: VCV000095200.3, PS4). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln244*) in the MECP2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 243 amino acid(s) of the MECP2 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Rett syndrome (PMID: 11005791). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 95200). This variant disrupts a region of the MECP2 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Tyr450Leufs*37) have been determined to be pathogenic (Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
