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]

Reported as a variant of uncertain significance in individuals with cardiomyopathy in published literature; however some of these individuals also carried variants in other cardiomyopathy genes as well (PMID: 29016939, 28750076, 34036930); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29029362, 34036930, 29016939, 28750076) -

Variant summary: BAG3 c.743A>G (p.His248Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.8e-05 in 251020 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.743A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or sudden cardiac death, all without evidence of causality (e.g. Mehaney_2022, Forleo_2017, Hellenthal_2017). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Myofibrillar Myopathy, BAG3-Related. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 28750076, 29016939, 34036930). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 201687). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 248 of the BAG3 protein (p.His248Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs369947845, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and/or dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 28750076, 34036930). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 201687). 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 with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.H248R variant (also known as c.743A>G), located in coding exon 3 of the BAG3 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 743. The histidine at codon 248 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported in a sudden death subject and a subject with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) (Hellenthal N et al. Europace, 2017 Nov;19:1881-1890; Forleo C et al. PLoS One, 2017 Jul;12:e0181842). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
