Genes affected

WFS1 (HGNC:12762): (wolframin ER transmembrane glycoprotein) This gene encodes a transmembrane protein, which is located primarily in the endoplasmic reticulum and ubiquitously expressed with highest levels in brain, pancreas, heart, and insulinoma beta-cell lines. Mutations in this gene are associated with Wolfram syndrome, also called DIDMOAD (Diabetes Insipidus, Diabetes Mellitus, Optic Atrophy, and Deafness), an autosomal recessive disorder. The disease affects the brain and central nervous system. Mutations in this gene can also cause autosomal dominant deafness 6 (DFNA6), also known as DFNA14 or DFNA38. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Sep 19, 2023	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. 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on WFS1 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 349321). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with deafness (PMID: 28974383). This variant is present in population databases (rs201623184, gnomAD 0.02%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 676 of the WFS1 protein (p.Arg676Cys). -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Apr 12, 2023	Observed in a patient with hearing loss in published literature (Kytovuori et al., 2017); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28974383) -

The p.Arg676Cys variant in WFS1 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss, or Wolfram syndrome Wolfram-like disorder, but has been ident ified in 10/121020 pan-ethnic chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (E xAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs201623184). Although this variant h as been seen in the general population, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summa ry, the clinical significance of the p.Arg676Cys variant is uncertain. -

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. -
