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 testingGeneDxJan 06, 2023Reported as a variant of uncertain significance in a patient referred for whole exome sequencing who was also compound heterozygous for another variant of uncertain significance in WFS1. Clinical information for this patient was not provided (Posey et al., 2017); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31264968, 27959697, 26435059) -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 22, 2024This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 360 of the WFS1 protein (p.Cys360Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs147157374, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with multiple congenital anomalies or with type 1 diabetes (PMID: 27959697, 31264968). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 374398). 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 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. -
