Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PP4 PM2_Supporting PS4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The p.Ala279Val variant in MECP2 (NM_004992.4) has been observed in at least 5 individuals with a clinical phenotype consistent with Rett syndrome (PMID:15526954, ClinVar, internal database - Invitae) (PS4, PP4). The p.Ala279Val variant in MECP2 is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (PM2_Supporting). In summary, the p.Ala279Val variant in MECP2 is classified as Likely Pathogenic for Rett syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (PS4, PM2_supporting, PP4).

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]
