Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BS2BP5

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The p.Glu394_Pro405del variant in MECP2 (NM_004992.4) is observed in at least 20 unaffected individuals (internal database - GeneDx; internal database - Invitae) (BS2). The p.Glu394_Pro405del variant is found in at least 2 patients with an alternate molecular basis of disease (internal database - GeneDx; internal database - Invitae) (BP5). The highest population minor allele frequency of the p.Glu394_Pro405del variant in MECP2 in gnomAD v4.1 is 0.00003691 in European (non-Finnish) population (not sufficient to meet BS1 criteria). In summary, the p.Glu394_Pro405del variant in MECP2 is classified as Likely Benign based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (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]

This variant, c.1180_1215del, results in the deletion of 12 amino acid(s) of the MECP2 protein (p.Glu394_Pro405del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs782746707, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MECP2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 393491). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -

Collection Method:curation

The p.Glu394_Pro405del variant in MECP2 (NM_004992.4) is observed in at least 20 unaffected individuals (internal database - GeneDx; internal database - Invitae) (BS2). The p.Glu394_Pro405del variant is found in at least 2 patients with an alternate molecular basis of disease (internal database - GeneDx; internal database - Invitae) (BP5). The highest population minor allele frequency of the p.Glu394_Pro405del variant in MECP2 in gnomAD v4.1 is 0.00003691 in European (non-Finnish) population (not sufficient to meet BS1 criteria). In summary, the p.Glu394_Pro405del variant in MECP2 is classified as Likely Benign based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (BS2, BP5). -
