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. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2009)

GeneCards Summary for MECP2 Gene:

MECP2 (methyl CpG binding protein 2 (Rett syndrome)) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with MECP2 include mecp2-related angelman-like syndrome, and atypical rett syndrome. GO annotations related to this gene include transcription factor binding and sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity. An important paralog of this gene is MBD4.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: MECP2_HUMAN, P51608

Function: 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) (By similarity)

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. Note=The disease may be caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry

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.

Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry

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. Note=The disease is 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. 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. 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, 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. 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
