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]

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 01, 2015The variant of interest causes a synonymous change with 3/5 in silico programs predicting no significant effect on splicing, although these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. The variant of interest was observed in a large, broad control population, ExAC, with an allele frequency of 48/85990 (1/1791 including 18 hemizygotes), which exceeds the maximum expected allele frequency for a pathogenic MECP2 variant. The variant of interest has been reported in affected individuals via publications and reputable clinical laboratories/databases with a classification of "benign/polymorphism." Therefore, taking all available lines of evidence into consideration, the variant of interest is classified as Benign. -
