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]

Myofibrillar myopathy 6;C3151293:Dilated cardiomyopathy 1HH Pathogenic:1

Jan 29, 2023

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.Arg203Profs*52) 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: 410229). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Dilated cardiomyopathy 1HH Pathogenic:1

Jul 25, 2016

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 3 of the BAG3 mRNA (c.607dupC), causing a frameshift at codon 203. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg203Profs*52) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, loss-of-function variants in BAG3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21353195, 25008357). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.607dupC variant, located in coding exon 3 of the BAG3 gene, results from a duplication of C at nucleotide position 607, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.R203Pfs*52). This alteration has not been previously reported; however, loss of function alterations have been reported in numerous cases of familial dilated cardiomyopathy, including many families with strong segregation with disease (Norton N et al. Am J Hum Genet. 2011;88(3):273-82; Villard E et al. Eur Heart J. 2011;32(9):1065-76; Chami N et al. Can J Cardiol. 2014;30(12):1655-61; Feldman AM et al. J Cell Physiol. 2014;229(11):1697-702; Franaszczyk M et al. J Transl Med. 2014;12:192; van Spaendonck-Zwarts KY et al. Eur Heart J. 2014;35(32):2165-73). In addition, in Norton et al. 2011, BAG3 knockdown in a zebrafish model showed heart failure with decreased fractional shortening and pericardial effusion. 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. -
