Criteria Specifications for this VCEP
Evidence submitted by expert panel
Rett and Angelman-like Disorders VCEP
The p.Arg167Pro variant in MECP2 (NM_004992.4) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (PM2_Supporting). A pathogenic missense variant (p.Arg167Trp) has been previously identified within this codon which indicates that this residue is critical to the function of the protein (ClinVar) (PM5). The p.Arg167Pro variant has been observed in at least 2 individuals with Rett syndrome (PMID 34457282, internal database - Labcorp (formerly Invitae)) (PS4_Supporting). In summary, the p.Arg167Pro variant in MECP2 is classified as uncertain significance based on the ACMG/AMP criteria (PM2_Supporting, PM5, PS4_Supporting). (MECP2 Specifications v.5.0.0; curation approved on 8/27/2025)
