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]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

The R859Q variant was reported to segregate with autosomal dominant sensorineural hearing loss in six affected individuals from a single family; however, an additional affected family member did not harbor R859Q (Hildebrand et al. 2008). The R859Q variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The R859Q variant is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. This substitution occurs at a position where amino acids with similar properties to Arginine are tolerated across species. In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. A missense variant at the same position (R859P) showed completed segregation with autosomal dominant sensorineural hearing loss in a very large family with 25 affected individuals over 5 generations (GÃ¼rtler et al. 2005). In summary, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether the R859Q variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4529). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness (PMID: 18688868). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs121912618, gnomAD 0.004%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 859 of the WFS1 protein (p.Arg859Gln). 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. 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. This variant disrupts the p.Arg859 amino acid residue in WFS1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15912360). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. -

The WFS1 c.2576G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg859Gln. This variant showed partial segregation with sensorineural hearing loss in a large pedigree (Hildebrand et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18688868). This variant is reported in 0.0033% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/4-6304098-G-A). In ClinVar this alteration is reported as a variant of uncertain significance by multiple clinical labs (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/4529/). An alternate variant at the same amino acid position has also been reported to segregate completely with sensorineural hearing loss in a large family (p.Arg859Pro; Gurtler et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 15912360). Although we suspect that this variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
