Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_001387994.1(BAG6):c.2783G>A(p.Arg928Gln) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000685 in 1,460,660 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
BAG6 (HGNC:13919): (BAG cochaperone 6) This gene was first characterized as part of a cluster of genes located within the human major histocompatibility complex class III region. This gene encodes a nuclear protein that is cleaved by caspase 3 and is implicated in the control of apoptosis. In addition, the protein forms a complex with E1A binding protein p300 and is required for the acetylation of p53 in response to DNA damage. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The c.2693G>A (p.R898Q) alteration is located in exon 19 (coding exon 18) of the BAG6 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2693, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 898 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
