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]

Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria provided	curation	RettBASE	Aug 06, 2004	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	curation	Centre for Population Genomics, CPG	Jan 11, 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 a variant of uncertain significance. At least the following criteria are met: Occurs in the well-characterized Methyl-DNA binding (MDB) functional domain of MECP2 (PM1). Computational prediction analysis tools suggests a deleterious impact (REVEL score>= 0.75) (PP3). At least one individual with this variant has been reported with a clinical phenotype consistent with Rett syndrome (PP4). PMID: 15057977. This variant is absent from gnomAD (PM2_Supporting). -
