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]

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.9).
BP6
Variant X-154030994-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chrX-154030994-G-A is described in ClinVar as Benign/Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 143709.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BP7
Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-4.36 with no splicing effect.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000437 (49/112104) while in subpopulation EAS AF = 0.00254 (9/3543). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00132. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 11 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 24. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 49 XL,Unknown,AD gene.
