Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_004281.4(BAG3):​c.72delC​(p.Gly25AspfsTer186) variant causes a frameshift change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000415 in 1,447,234 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. There is a variant allele frequency bias in the population database for this variant (GnomAdExome4), which may indicate mosaicism or somatic mutations in the reference population data. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. P24P) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly25Aspfs*186) 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). 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 premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 30847666). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 162769). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The Gly25fs variant in BAG3 has not been reported in individuals with cardiomyop athy or in large population studies. This frameshift variant is predicted to alt er the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 25 and lead to a prem ature termination codon 186 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then pred icted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Variants in BAG3 are associated with DCM (Arimura 2011, Norton 2011, Villard 2011) and myofibrillar myopathy (Se lcen 2009, Lee 2011) and loss of functions variants have been reported to be dis ease causing (HGMD database). In summary, this variant is likely pathogenic, tho ugh additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance . -
