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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 805 of the WFS1 protein (p.Arg805Gln). 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt WFS1 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 166610). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with WFS1-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs140667597, gnomAD 0.01%). -

Reported in published literature in a patient with sensorineural hearing loss who had a different genetic etiology for the phenotype, and in a patient with early-onset type 2 diabetes (PMID: 37277527, 35938034); In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 37277527, 35938034) -

The Arg805Gln variant in WFS1 has not been previously reported in individuals wi th hearing loss, but has been identified in (1/8600) of European American chromo somes and (1/4406) of African American chromosomes by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/; dbSNP rs140667597). Computational p rediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that the Arg805Gln variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rul e out pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the Arg805Gln vari ant is uncertain. -

Potent mutations in WFS1 gene are associated with Wolfram's syndrome, an autosomal recessive condition, which cause diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, deafness and optic atrophy. However no sufficient evidence is found to ascertain the role of this particular variant rs140667597 in Wolfram's syndrome yet. -
