Is BAG3 p.Lys320= (c.960A>G) pathogenic?

BAG3 p.Lys320= (c.960A>G) is classified Likely benign in BAG3 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-12-15). Very rare (popmax 0.0011%, sas); Associated with dilated cardiomyopathy 1HH.

What condition is associated with BAG3 p.Lys320= (c.960A>G)?

BAG3 p.Lys320= (c.960A>G) is associated with dilated cardiomyopathy 1HH, myofibrillar myopathy 6 (ClinVar).

How common is BAG3 p.Lys320= (c.960A>G) in the general population?

BAG3 p.Lys320= (c.960A>G) is very rare (popmax 0.0011%, sas) (gnomAD).

How is Familial isolated dilated cardiomyopathy inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
