Description

In a woman with motor coordination problems, mild learning disability, and skewed X inactivation, Wan et al. (1999) identified a 1-bp deletion (806delG) in the MECP2 gene, resulting in a val288-to-ter (V288X) substitution in the transcription repression domain. The same mutation was found in her sister and daughter, who were affected with classic Rett syndrome (RTT; 312750), and in her hemizygous son, who died from congenital encephalopathy (300673).

Leuzzi et al. (2004) reported a 28-month-old boy with the 806delG mutation. The patient's mother did not carry the mutation, suggesting germline mosaicism or a de novo mutation. After a normal pregnancy and cesarean section, the patient was markedly hypotonic with weak suction and vomiting. He showed chaotic ocular movements, masticatory automatisms, and brief seizure-like episodes. Brain MRI was normal. Examination at age 10 months showed microcephaly, severe developmental delay, axial hypotonia, limb rigidity, hyperreflexia, lack of purposeful hand movements, and poor eye contact. In addition, he had paroxysmal myoclonic movements of the upper limbs that were unresponsive to conventional antiepileptic drugs. Neurophysiologic investigations showed arrhythmic multifocal myoclonus that was of cortical origin, although not associated with cortical hyperexcitability. The findings were similar to those observed in patients with Rett syndrome and believed to result from reduced dendritic branching and circuitry derangement (Guerrini et al., 1998).

Li et al. (2007) referred to this mutation as G269fs.

Description

Variant summary: MECP2 c.806delG (p.Gly269AlafsX20) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (eg. c.880C>T, p.Arg294X; c.1079C>A, p.Ser360X). The variant was absent in 177658 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.806delG has been reported in the literature in numerous individuals affected with Rett Syndrome (Li_2007, Miltenberger-Miltenyi_2003), including one family in which the variant segregated with disease (Wan_1999). Additionally, one male mutation carrier was affected with encephalopathy (Leuzzi_2004). At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function which shows this truncation variant disrupts MECP2 protein activity (Yusufzai_2000). Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

Description

The p.Gly269Alafs*20 variant in MECP2 is predicted to cause a premature stop codon that leads to a truncated or absent protein in a gene where loss-of-function is an established mechanism. There is significant evidence that loss of this region of the gene is pathogenic (PVS1). This variant has been reported as a de novo occurrence (biological parentage confirmed) in at least 2 individuals with Rett syndrome (PMID 26984561, 10854091) (PS2_VS). The p.Gly269Alafs*20 variant in MECP2 is absent from gnomAD (PM2_supporting). In summary, the p.Gly269Alafs*20 variant in MECP2 is classified as Pathogenic for Rett syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (PVS1, PS2_VS, PM2_supporting).

Description

The frame shift (c.842del) variant has been reported as a de novo occurrence and in at least 2 individuals with Rett syndrome (Zahorakova et. al., 2016; De et. al., 2000). Published functional studies demonstrate that this variant impairs the stability of the MECP2 protein and affects its ability to repress transcription (Yusufzai et al., 2000). The p.Gly281AlafsTer20 variant is novel (not in any individuals) in gnomAD Exomes and 1000 Genomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing.(Le et. al., 2018). The observed variant is found to be present in last exon. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Description

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 to the ACMG/AMP Variant Interpretation Guidelines VCEP 2.0 , this variant is classified as Pathogenic . At least the following criteria are met: This variant has been identified as a de novo occurrence with confirmed parental relationships in at least 2 individuals with Rett syndrome , or in at least 1 individual with confirmed parental relationships AND in at least 2 individuals with unconfirmed parental relationships (PS2_Very strong). Predicted to result in loss of function, and LOF is a known mechanism of disease (PVS1). This variant is absent from gnomAD (PM2_Supporting).
