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 submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineDec 21, 2017Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Glu680Ala var iant in WFS1 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss, but has been identified in 0.21% (51/24020) of African chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs1448407 79). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequenc y is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. Computational prediction too ls and conservation analysis suggest that the p.Glu680Ala variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out patho genicity. In summary, while the clinical significance of the p.Glu680Ala variant is uncertain, available data suggest that it is more likely to be benign. ACMG/ AMP Criteria applied: BP4. -

Wolfram-like syndrome;C4551693:Wolfram syndrome 1 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNew York Genome CenterNov 30, 2020The c.2039A>C (p.Glu680Ala) variant identified in the WFS1 gene substitutes a well conserved Glutamic Acid for Alanine at amino acid 680/891 (exon 8/8). This variant is found in gnomADv3.0 (73 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes; allele frequency: 4.80e-4). In silico algorithms predict this variant to be Damaging (SIFT; score:0.018) and Pathogenic (REVEL; score:0.681) to the function of the canonical transcript. The c.2039A>C (p.Glu680Ala) variant is reported in ClinVar as a Variant of Uncertain Significance (3 entries) and as Likely Benign (1 entry) (VarID:286507). To our current knowledge this variant has not been previously reported in affected individuals in the literature. Given the lack of compelling evidence for its pathogenicity, thec.2039A>C (p.Glu680Ala) variant identified in the WFS1 gene is reported as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
