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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Asp880His variant in WFS1 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss, but has been identified in 0.006% (1/17210) of East Asian chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that the p.Asp880His variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Asp880His variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, PP3.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 880 of the WFS1 protein (p.Asp880His). This variant is present in population databases (rs776324301, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with WFS1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 229646). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt WFS1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. 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.

The c.2638G>C (p.D880H) alteration is located in exon 8 (coding exon 7) of the WFS1 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 2638, causing the aspartic acid (D) at amino acid position 880 to be replaced by a histidine (H). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
