Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -8 ACMG points: 1P and 9B. BS2PP3BP5BS1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The allele frequency of the p.Thr311Met variant in MECP2 (NM_004992.3) is 0.022% and 0.01% in "Other" and South Asian sub population in gnomAD, which is high enough to meet the BS1 criteria based on thresholds defined by the ClinGen Rett/Angelman-like Expert Panel for Rett/AS-like conditions (BS1). The p.Thr311Met variant is observed in at least 2 unaffected individuals (GeneDx internal database) (BS2) and found in 2 patients with an alternate molecular basis of disease (Baylor Genetics internal database, Invitae internal database) (BP5). Computational prediction analysis tools suggests a deleterious impact; however, this information does not predict clinical significance on its own (PP3). As this variant meets 2 strong and 1 supporting benign criteria it can be classified as benign even though in silico predictions meet PP3. In summary, the p.Thr311Met variant in MECP2 is classified as benign for Rett syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (BS1, BS2, BP5).

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]

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	curation	Centre for Population Genomics, CPG	Jan 09, 2024	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 likely benign. At least the following criteria are met: The allele frequency of this variant in at least one population in gnomAD is between 0.008% and 0.03% (BS1). Variant is found in an individual with an alternate molecular basis of disease (BP5). (ClinVar Variation ID:36496) The variant is observed in at least 2 individuals with no features of Rett Syndrome (BS2). Computational prediction analysis tools suggests a deleterious impact (REVEL score>= 0.75) (PP3). -

Benign:2

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	May 30, 2018	Variant summary: MECP2 c.932C>T (p.Thr311Met) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.9e-05 in 178987 control chromosomes including 2 hemizygotes (gnomAD). The observed variant frequency is approximately 4.7 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in MECP2 causing Rett Syndrome phenotype (8.3e-06), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. The variant, c.932C>T, has been reported in the literature in one individual affected with Rett Syndrome (Kim_2006). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
