Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_006005.3(WFS1):​c.2205C>G​(p.Tyr735*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Y735Y) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

ENSG00000286176 (HGNC:):

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 57 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 4-6302000-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr4-6302000-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1453615.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr735*) in the WFS1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 156 amino acid(s) of the WFS1 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This nonsense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive Wolfram syndrome (PMID: 25173644). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: WFS1 c.2205C>G (p.Tyr735X) results in a premature termination codon and is predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein, which is a commonly known mechanism for disease. Although the variant is not expected to cause absence of the protein through nonsense mediated decay, the variant is predicted to remove the last 155 amino acids in the protein sequence. Variants downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 245898 control chromosomes (gnomAD). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.2205C>G in individuals affected with Wolfram Syndrome 1 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. A different nonsense variant at this codon has been classified as disease causing in HGMD (CM149025). One ClinVar submitter has assessed the variant since 2014, and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
