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]

The p.His371_His372del variant in MECP2 (NM_004992.3) is observed in at least 2 unaffected individuals (PMID: 29961512, internal database - GeneDx) (BS2). The p.His371_His372del variant is observed in the MECP2 gene where a second pathogenic variant in the same gene is present in the patient (internal database - GeneDx) (BP2). The p.His371_His372del variant is found in at least 2 patients with an alternate molecular basis of disease (PMID 29961512, internal database - GeneDx) (BP5). In summary, the p.His371_His372del variant in MECP2 is classified as Likely Benign based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (BS2, BP2, BP5).

This variant, c.1101_1106del, results in the deletion of 2 amino acid(s) of the MECP2 protein (p.His371_His372del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs587783093, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with epilepsy and developmental delay (PMID: 29961512). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 156614). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
