Is BAG3 p.Pro24Arg (c.71C>G) pathogenic?

BAG3 p.Pro24Arg (c.71C>G) is classified Uncertain significance in BAG3 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2026-05-13). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.2896); Very rare (popmax 0.0017%, nfe); Associated with myofibrillar myopathy 6.

What condition is associated with BAG3 p.Pro24Arg (c.71C>G)?

BAG3 p.Pro24Arg (c.71C>G) is associated with myofibrillar myopathy 6, dilated cardiomyopathy 1HH (ClinVar).

How common is BAG3 p.Pro24Arg (c.71C>G) in the general population?

BAG3 p.Pro24Arg (c.71C>G) is very rare (popmax 0.0017%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is BAG3-related myofibrillar myopathy inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about BAG3 p.Pro24Arg (c.71C>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.2896) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
