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]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln244*) in the BAG3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BAG3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21353195, 25008357). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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: 228246). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Gln244X variant in BAG3 has been identified by our laboratory in 1 individ ual with DCM and segregated with disease in 2 affected relatives (including 1 ob ligate carrier; LMM data). It was also absent from large population studies. Thi s variant has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 228246). This nonsense vari ant leads to a premature termination codon at position 244, which is predicted t o lead to a truncated or absent protein. Nonsense and other truncating variants in BAG3 are associated with DCM (Norton 2011, Villard 2011, Konersman 2015). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinica l significance, the p.Gln244X variant is likely pathogenic. -
