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 MedicineNov 13, 2018The p.Ala422Val variant in WFS1 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss or Wolfram syndrome, but has been identified in 0.035% (45/129 150) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 393388). Computational p rediction tools and conservation analysis do not provide strong support for or a gainst an impact to the protein. In summary, the clinical significance of the p. Ala422Val variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: None. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoDec 20, 2021DNA sequence analysis of the WFS1 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.1265C>T, in exon 8 that results in an amino acid change, p.Ala422Val. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.03% in the non-Finnish European subpopulation (dbSNP rs150368988). The p.Ala422Val change affects a moderately conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the WFS1 protein that is not known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Ala422Val substitution. This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in individuals with WFS1-related disorders. Due to insufficient evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Ala422Val change remains unknown at this time. -
WFS1-Related Spectrum Disorders Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 12, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
WFS1-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesSep 18, 2024The WFS1 c.1265C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala422Val. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.035% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
