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, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The BAG3 p.Val298Met variant was identified in the literature in two patients with left ventricular hypertrabeculation but was also found in a healthy control (Miszalski-Jamka_2018_PMID:28798025; Norton_2011_PMID:21353195). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs150048651), LOVD 3.0 and ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Ambry Genetics, EGL Genetic Diagnostics, and Invitae). The variant was identified in control databases in 22 of 281356 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00007819 (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: European (non-Finnish) in 20 of 128474 chromosomes (freq: 0.000156), Other in 1 of 7204 chromosomes (freq: 0.000139) and South Asian in 1 of 30616 chromosomes (freq: 0.000033), but was not observed in the African, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, or European (Finnish) populations. The p.Val298 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and three of four in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 25, 2022This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 298 of the BAG3 protein (p.Val298Met). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy and/or left ventricular noncompaction (PMID: 28798025). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 196379). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BAG3 protein function. 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 GeneticsJan 11, 2023The p.V298M variant (also known as c.892G>A), located in coding exon 3 of the BAG3 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 892. The valine at codon 298 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was reported in the control population in a study of subjects with dilated cardiomyopathy, and has been detected in a family with left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy who also had variants in other cardiac-related genes (Norton N et al. Am J Hum Genet. 2011 Mar; 88(3):273-82; Miszalski-Jamka K. Circ Cardiovasc Genet. 2017 Aug;10(4)). 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 variant remains unclear. -
