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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 4 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 10-119676616-GC-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr10-119676616-GC-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 179764.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Pro356Hisfs*7) in the BAG3 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 220 amino acid(s) of the BAG3 protein. 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: 179764). This variant disrupts a region of the BAG3 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Lys449*) have been determined to be pathogenic (Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Pro356fs variant in BAG3 has been identified by our laboratory in 1 Caucas ian individual with DCM. It was absent from large population studies. This varia nt is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s amino acid seq uence beginning at position 356 and leads to a premature termination codon 7 ami no acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of functions variants in BAG3 have been reported to be dis ease-causing (Norton 2011, Villard, 2011). In summary, although additional studi es are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.Pro356fs var iant is likely pathogenic. -
