RCV001008367 | SCV001168135 | pathogenic | not provided | 2018-09-24 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.1157_1169del13 pathogenic variant in the MECP2 gene causes a frameshift starting with codon Leucine 386, changes this amino acid to a Histidine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 19 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Leu386HisfsX19. This frameshift variant in the C-terminus is predicted to result in protein truncation, as the last 101 amino acids are lost and replaced with 18 incorrect amino acids. The c.1157_1169del13 variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). Although this pathogenic variant has not been previously reported to our knowledge, its presence is consistent with the diagnosis of an MECP2-related disorder in this individual. |
