Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the BAG3 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000004281.4. Only rare variants are included in the table.

In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.

Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Co-chaperone for HSP70 and HSC70 chaperone proteins. Acts as a nucleotide-exchange factor (NEF) promoting the release of ADP from the HSP70 and HSC70 proteins thereby triggering client/substrate protein release. Nucleotide release is mediated via its binding to the nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) of HSPA8/HSC70 where as the substrate release is mediated via its binding to the substrate-binding domain (SBD) of HSPA8/HSC70 (PubMed:9873016, PubMed:27474739). Has anti-apoptotic activity (PubMed:10597216). Plays a role in the HSF1 nucleocytoplasmic transport (PubMed:26159920). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10597216, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24318877, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26159920, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27474739, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9873016}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Myopathy, myofibrillar, 6 (MFM6) [MIM:612954]: A form of myofibrillar myopathy, a group of chronic neuromuscular disorders characterized at ultrastructural level by disintegration of the sarcomeric Z disk and myofibrils, and replacement of the normal myofibrillar markings by small dense granules, or larger hyaline masses, or amorphous material. MFM6 is characterized by early- onset of severe, progressive, diffuse muscle weakness associated with cardiomyopathy, severe respiratory insufficiency during adolescence, and a rigid spine in some patients. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19085932, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21361913, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21898660}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Cardiomyopathy, dilated 1HH (CMD1HH) [MIM:613881]: A disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Patients are at risk of premature death. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21353195, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21459883, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21898660}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
