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 18 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 23 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.

Invitae

Nov 11, 2022

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 179764). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BAG3-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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. -

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. -
