Summaries for MECP2 Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for MECP2 Gene

  • DNA methylation is the major modification of eukaryotic genomes and plays an essential role in mammalian development. Human proteins MECP2, MBD1, MBD2, MBD3, and MBD4 comprise a family of nuclear proteins related by the presence in each of a methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD). Each of these proteins, with the exception of MBD3, is capable of binding specifically to methylated DNA. MECP2, MBD1 and MBD2 can also repress transcription from methylated gene promoters. In contrast to other MBD family members, MECP2 is X-linked and subject to X inactivation. MECP2 is dispensible in stem cells, but is essential for embryonic development. MECP2 gene mutations are the cause of most cases of Rett syndrome, a progressive neurologic developmental disorder and one of the most common causes of mental retardation in females. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

GeneCards Summary for MECP2 Gene

MECP2 (Methyl-CpG Binding Protein 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with MECP2 include Rett Syndrome and Mental Retardation, X-Linked, Syndromic 13. Among its related pathways are Macrophage Differentiation and Growth Inhibition by METS and SIDS Susceptibility Pathways. GO annotations related to this gene include poly(A) RNA binding and chromatin binding. An important paralog of this gene is MBD4.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for MECP2 Gene

  • Chromosomal protein that binds to methylated DNA. It can bind specifically to a single methyl-CpG pair. It is not influenced by sequences flanking the methyl-CpGs. Mediates transcriptional repression through interaction with histone deacetylase and the corepressor SIN3A. Binds both 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)-containing DNA, with a preference for 5-methylcytosine (5mC).

MECP2_HUMAN
  • Angelman syndrome (AS) [MIM:105830]: A neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by severe motor and intellectual retardation, ataxia, frequent jerky limb movements and flapping of the arms and hands, hypotonia, seizures, absence of speech, frequent smiling and episodes of paroxysmal laughter, open-mouthed expression revealing the tongue. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:11283202}. Note=The disease may be caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Autism, X-linked 3 (AUTSX3) [MIM:300496]: A complex multifactorial, pervasive developmental disorder characterized by impairments in reciprocal social interaction and communication, restricted and stereotyped patterns of interests and activities, and the presence of developmental abnormalities by 3 years of age. Most individuals with autism also manifest moderate mental retardation. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:12770674}. Note=The disease may be caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Encephalopathy, neonatal severe, due to MECP2 mutations (ENS-MECP2) [MIM:300673]: A neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by severe neonatal encephalopathy, developmental delay, mental retardation, microcephaly, seizures. Additional features include respiratory insufficiency and central hypoventilation, gastroesophageal reflux, axial hypotonia, hyperreflexia and dyskinetic movements. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:11238684}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. The MECP2 gene is mutated in Rett syndrome, a severe neurodevelopmental disorder that almost always occurs in females. Although it was first thought that MECP2 mutations causing Rett syndrome were lethal in males, later reports identified a severe neonatal encephalopathy in surviving male sibs of patients with Rett syndrome. Additional reports have confirmed a severe phenotype in males with Rett syndrome-associated MECP2 mutations.
  • Mental retardation, X-linked, syndromic, 13 (MRXS13) [MIM:300055]: A disorder characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period. MRXS13 patients manifest mental retardation associated with other variable features such as spasticity, episodes of manic depressive psychosis, increased tone and macroorchidism. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:10986043, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11007980, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11309367, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11805248, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11885030, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12161600, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12325019, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12615169, ECO:0000269 PubMed:16966553}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Mental retardation, X-linked, syndromic, Lubs type (MRXSL) [MIM:300260]: A disorder characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period. MRXSL patients manifest mental retardation associated with variable features. They include swallowing dysfunction and gastroesophageal reflux with secondary recurrent respiratory infections, hypotonia, mild myopathy and characteristic facies such as downslanting palpebral fissures, hypertelorism and a short nose with a low nasal bridge. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:16080119}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Increased dosage of MECP2 due to gene duplication appears to be responsible for the mental retardation phenotype.
  • Rett syndrome (RTT) [MIM:312750]: An X-linked dominant neurodevelopmental disorder, and one of the most common causes of mental retardation in females. Patients appear to develop normally until 6 to 18 months of age, then gradually lose speech and purposeful hand movements, and develop microcephaly, seizures, autism, ataxia, mental retardation and stereotypic hand movements. After initial regression, the condition stabilizes and patients usually survive into adulthood. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:10508514, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10577905, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10745042, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10767337, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10814719, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10944854, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10991688, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10991689, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11055898, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11241840, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11269512, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11283202, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11376998, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11402105, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11706982, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11738883, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12161600, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12567420, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12966522, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12966523, ECO:0000269 PubMed:15034579, ECO:0000269 PubMed:15057977}.
