Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PVS1_ModeratePM2
The NM_001387994.1(BAG6):c.3415C>T(p.Arg1139*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,530 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (no stars).
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]
Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points.
PVS1
Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.0212 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
