Genes affected
BAG3 (HGNC:939): (BAG cochaperone 3) BAG proteins compete with Hip for binding to the Hsc70/Hsp70 ATPase domain and promote substrate release. All the BAG proteins have an approximately 45-amino acid BAG domain near the C terminus but differ markedly in their N-terminal regions. The protein encoded by this gene contains a WW domain in the N-terminal region and a BAG domain in the C-terminal region. The BAG domains of BAG1, BAG2, and BAG3 interact specifically with the Hsc70 ATPase domain in vitro and in mammalian cells. All 3 proteins bind with high affinity to the ATPase domain of Hsc70 and inhibit its chaperone activity in a Hip-repressible manner. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMay 03, 2017A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the BAG3 gene. The R170Q variant has not been published as pathogenic or been reported as benign to our knowledge. This variant is observed in 4/16,284 (0.02%) alleles from individuals of South Asian ancestry in the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) dataset (Lek et al., 2016; Exome Variant Server). This substitution occurs at a position that is only conserved in mammals and in silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Nevertheless, the R170Q variant is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. -

Myofibrillar myopathy 6;C3151293:Dilated cardiomyopathy 1HH Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 20, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 170 of the BAG3 protein (p.Arg170Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs140904592, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BAG3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 429486). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 27, 2023The p.R170Q variant (also known as c.509G>A), located in coding exon 3 of the BAG3 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 509. The arginine at codon 170 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
