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]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg90*) 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 premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 21353195, 25008357). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 372723). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.R90* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.268C>T), located in coding exon 2 of the BAG3 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 268. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 2. This alteration has been reported in two individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy (Norton N et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2011 Mar;88:273-82; Janin A et al. Clin Genet, 2017 Dec;92:616-623). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
