GeneDx RCV000081212 SCV000191047 pathogenic not provided 2021-04-19 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Nonsense variant in the C-terminus predicted to result in protein truncation, as the last 217 amino acids are lost, and other loss-of-function variants have been reported downstream in the Human Gene Mutation Database and in RETTbase (HGMD; RETTbase); Located in the transcriptional repression domain (TRD) and functional studies indicate this variant impairs the stability of the MECP2 protein and affects its ability to repress transcription, and it has been shown to reduce microtubule stability (Yusufzai et al., 2000; Delepine et al., 2013); Not observed in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26175308, 18174548, 10767337, 19914908, 18337588, 10854091, 11313764, 10814718, 11896459, 22982301, 11058114, 20625242, 23238081, 27255190, 15287421, 23270700, 28831199, 16077729, 17914728, 29655203, 30536762, 30417326, 31088393, 31095231, 23452848, 31618753, 32105570, 33767182, 33726816, 32472557, 34177756, 33994118, 12030010, 32959227, 33258288, 31031587)

Invitae RCV000169940 SCV000544624 pathogenic Severe neonatal-onset encephalopathy with microcephaly 2023-12-28 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg270*) in the MECP2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 217 amino acid(s) of the MECP2 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Rett syndrome (PMID: 10854091, 11241840, 16473305, 17089071, 18174548, 23270700; RettBASE). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 11815). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal affects MECP2 function (PMID: 11058114, 23238081). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000012586 SCV000698544 pathogenic Rett syndrome 2016-09-30 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: The MECP2 c.808C>T (p.Arg270X) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent MECP2 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 (e.g. p.Arg294X, p.Ser360X, etc.). One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant lies in the transcription repression domain (TRD) and one of the major functions of MECP2 is repression of transcription mediated by its TRD. Functional studies have shown that this nonsense mutation produced a protein that is defective in transcription repression. Additionally, this variant is a known common pathogenic variant that has been reported in numerous classic Rett Syndrome patients in the literature and has been classified by multiple clinical labs and databases as pathogenic. This variant was found in 1/86029 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000116. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories RCV000081212 SCV000885680 pathogenic not provided 2018-06-08 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The MECP2 c.808C>T; p.Arg270Ter variant (rs61750240) is a recurrent alteration in patients diagnosed with Rett syndrome (Cheadle 2000, Dragich 2000, RettBase). Functional characterization of the truncated protein indicates loss of specificity for methylated DNA, and impaired repressive functions (Yusufzai 2000). This variant is reported as pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 11815), and it is absent from the general population databases (1000 Genomes Project, Exome Variant Server, and Genome Aggregation Database). This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. REFERENCES RettBase: http://mecp2.chw.edu.au/cgi-bin/mecp2/views/basic.cgi?form=basic Cheadle J et al.

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine RCV000012586 SCV000967749 pathogenic Rett syndrome 2018-09-12 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.Arg270X variant in MECP2 has been reported in at least 80 heterozygous fem ales, including at least 6 de novo cases and 1 mosaic male with clinical feature s of Rett syndrome (Cheadle et al. 2000, Topcu et al. 2002, Temudo et al. 2007, Knight et al. 2013, Maortua et al. 2013, Cuddapah et al. 2014, Pidcock et al. 20 16) and was absent from large population studies. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 270. This alteration occurs within th e last exon and is more likely to escape nonsense mediated decay (NMD) and resul t in a truncated protein. Functional studies, including a mouse model with this variant, support that p.Arg270X impacts protein function (Baker et al. 2013, Yu sufzai and Wollfe 2000, Delepine et al. 2013). In summary, this variant meets cr iteria to be classified as pathogenic for Rett syndrome in an X-linked manner ba sed upon case counts, de novo occurrence, absence from controls, predicted impac t on protein and functional evidence.

Neuberg Supratech Reference Laboratories Pvt Ltd, Neuberg Centre for Genomic Medicine RCV000012586 SCV004046997 pathogenic Rett syndrome criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The stop_gained (c.844C>T) variant is most commonly reported in heterozygous state in patients affected with Rett syndrome (Moog, U. et. al., 2003; Laccone F et. al., 2001) but has also been reported in individuals with atypical Rett syndrome (RettBASE). This variant is clearly defined as a Rett syndrome causative allele that accounts for ~7% of disease-causing variants (Percy A.K. et. al., 2007; Philippe C. et. al., 2006) and has been shown to arise de novo in individuals affected with Rett syndrome (Laccone F et. al., 2001). Experimental studies have shown that this nonsense change impairs microtubule stability and the ability of the MECP2 protein to repress transcription (Yusufzai T.M. and Wolffe A.P., 2000; Delépine C et. al., 2013). The variant is novel (not in any individuals) in gnomAD Exomes and 1000 Genomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic. The nucleotide change in MECP2 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
