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 aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 797 of the WFS1 protein (p.Asp797Asn). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant deafness (PMID: 25250959, 29447883). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 517360). 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. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

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 rs1553879004 in Wolfram's syndrome yet. -

The WFS1 c.2389G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Asp797Asn. This variant has been reported as causative for autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss affecting all frequencies (Bai et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25250959; Cheng et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29447883). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

The p.Asp797Asn variant in WFS1 has been reported in a Chinese Han family with a utosomal dominant hearing loss, and segregated with disease in >10 affected rela tives (Bai 2014). Affected family members were evaluated using optic nerve elect roretinogram and fundus imaging, and no abnormalities were reported (Bai 2014). This variant was absent from large population studies. Two different amino acid changes at the same position (p.Asp797Tyr, p.Asp797Val) have also been reported in affected individuals. The p.Asp797Tyr variant has been reported in one indivi dual with sensorineural hearing loss and optic atrophy and segregated in the ind ividual's affected mother (Rendtorff 2011). The p.Asp797Val variant has been rep orted in one individual with autosomal dominant optic atrophy, sensorineural hea ring loss and diabetes mellitus and in one individual with Wolfram syndrome (Roh ayem 2011, Majander 2016). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classif ied as pathogenic for autosomal dominant hearing loss based on multiple segregat ions with hearing loss reported for a large family with dominant hearing loss (B ai 2014), and absence in controls. -
