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]

Reported previously in the heterozygous state in an individual with Wolfram syndrome who was also apparently homozygous for a WFS1 frameshift variant (PMID: 11295831); Reported previously as a variant identified at a low frequency in individuals with type 1 diabetes; however, additional details were not provided to support the potential pathogenicity of this variant (PMID: 23856252); 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: 18688868, 26435059, 20972738, 15368487, 31264968, 37277527, 23856252, 11295831) -

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 708 of the WFS1 protein (p.Arg708Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs200099217, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal recessive WFS1-related conditions or type 2 diabetes (PMID: 11295831, 31264968, 37277527; internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 285046). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt WFS1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

The WFS1 c.2122C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg708Cys. This variant was reported in the heterozygous state in a patient with Wolfram syndrome, and was described as ‘probably neutral’ due the patient being homozygous for a different pathogenic premature termination variant (Tessa. 2001. PubMed ID: 11295831). This variant has also been described in a patient with type 1 diabetes (Table S6, Yu. 2019. PubMed ID: 31264968). This variant is reported in 0.020% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
