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]

Dilated cardiomyopathy 1HH Pathogenic:4
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingVictorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research InstituteApr 01, 20220103 - Loss of function and gain of function are known mechanisms of disease in this gene and are associated with dilated cardiomyopathy, 1HH (MIM#613881) and myofibrillar myopathy, 6 (MIM#612954). Variants resulting in a premature stop codon are reported to have a loss of function mechanism, whereas missense variants have a gain of function effect (PMID: 27321750). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance (PMIDs: 30442290, 33989081). (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.001 for a dominant condition (2 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0701 - Other NMD-predicted variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity (DECIPHER). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported many times as pathogenic and likely pathogenic, and consistently observed in individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy (ClinVar, PMID: 34935411). (SP) 1206 - This variant has been shown to be paternally inherited (by trio analysis). (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingDASANov 03, 2022The c.367C>T;p.Arg123* variant creates a premature translational stop signal in the BAG3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product - PVS1. This sequence change has been observed in affected individual(s) and ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (ClinVar ID: 30397; PMID: 28436997) - PS4. The variant is present at low allele frequencies population databases (rs387906875 – gnomAD 0.00007955%; ABraOM no frequency - https://abraom.ib.usp.br/) - PM2_supporting. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic. -

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 present in population databases (rs387906875, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 21353195, 25008357). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 30397). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Primary dilated cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineJan 27, 2017The p.Arg123X variant in BAG3 has been identified in 4 adults with DCM and segre gated with disease in 5 affected relatives (Norton 2011, LMM data). This variant has also been identified in 2/66492 European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregati on Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs387906875). This no nsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 123, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function variants in BAG3 are strongly associated with DCM. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.Arg123X variant is likely pathogenic. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsAug 11, 2022The p.R123* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.367C>T), located in coding exon 2 of the BAG3 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 367. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 2. This alteration has been reported in individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) (Norton N et al. Am J Hum Genet. 2011;88(3):273-82; Janin A et al. Clin. Genet., 2017. Dec;92(6):616-23). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. -
