RCV000767162 | SCV000191002 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2016-07-01 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The Arg478Gln missense change has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The amino acid substitution is non-conservative, as a positively charged Arginine residue is replaced by an uncharged Glutamine residue, and it alters a highly conserved position in the C-terminal domain of the MECP2 protein. However, missense substitutions at nearby codons are classified as benign variants, suggesting that this region of the protein is tolerant of missense changes. Several in silico algorithms predict that Arg478Gln is likely benign, although another model suggests it may be damaging to protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the available information it is currently unclear whether Arg478Gln is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in CHILD-EPI panel(s). |

Invitae | RCV001048888 | SCV001212916 | uncertain significance | Severe neonatal-onset encephalopathy with microcephaly | 2019-12-11 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 478 of the MECP2 protein (p.Arg478Gln). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between arginine and glutamine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MECP2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 156636). 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. |
