p.Ser185Leu (c.554C>T) in exon 3 of the BAG3 gene (NM_004281.3) We have seen this variant in a person with HCM. Testing was done by Invitae. Given the lack of case data and relatively high frequency in a population dataset, we consider this variant to be of uncertain significance and we do not feel it is suitable for assessing risk in healthy relatives ("predictive genetic testing"). It is listed in ClinVar by BluePrint Genetics, classified as a variant of uncertain significance. No phenotypica data is listed, but it was noted that the variant was found together with pathogenic MYH7 variant c.2609G>A. It has not been reported in the literature (as of 10/13/2016). The Invitae report notes, "The serine residue is weakly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between serine and leucine. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0")." The variant was reported online in 16 of 280,452 individuals in the Genome Aggregation Consortium Dataset (gnomAD; http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/), which currently includes variant calls on 126,216 unrelated individuals of African, Asian, European, Ashkenazi, Latino descent. Specifically, the variant was observed in 13 of 62,672 individuals of non-Finnish European descent (0.01% MAF) and 1 of 18,217 Latino people (0.0027%). The phenotype of those individuals is not publicly available. The dataset is comprised of multiple cohorts, some of which were recruited from the general population, others were enriched for common cardiovascular disease. -

Myofibrillar myopathy 6;C3151293:Dilated cardiomyopathy 1HH Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 185 of the BAG3 protein (p.Ser185Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs730880054, gnomAD 0.01%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. 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: 180282). 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. -
Dilated cardiomyopathy 1HH Uncertain:1
This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
The p.S185L variant (also known as c.554C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the BAG3 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 554. The serine at codon 185 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in a limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) cohort; however, additional alterations in the ANO5 gene were also identified in the case (Jarmula A et al. Sci Rep, 2019 08;9:11533). Additionally, this alteration has been detected in a peripartum cardiomyopathy cohort (Goli R et al. Circulation, 2021 May;143:1852-1862). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
not specified Benign:1
Variant summary: BAG3 c.554C>T (p.Ser185Leu) 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 6e-05 in 249352 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 1.54 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in BAG3 causing Dilated Cardiomyopathy phenotype (3.9e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.554C>T has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with limb girdle muscular dystrophy and heart failure in presence of other pathogenic variants (Jarmula_BAG3_SciRep_2019) and in peripartum cardiomyopathy as a VUS (Goli_2021). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Dilated Cardiomyopathy. 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: 33874732, 31395899). Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, classifying the variant as uncertain significance (n=4) or likely benign (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
Myofibrillar myopathy 6 Benign:1
This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -
