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 glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 728 of the WFS1 protein (p.Gly728Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs202195756, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with WFS1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 130750). 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) has been performed 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. 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.

The Gly728Ser variant in WFS1 has not been previously reported in individuals wi th hearing loss, but it has been identified in 0.56% (1/178) of Japanese chromos omes by the 1000 Genomes Project (dbSNP rs202195756). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is not high enough to rule ou t a pathogenic role. The glycine (Gly) at position 728 is mostly conserved in m ammals and evolutionary distant species; however, one primate (gorilla) carries a serine (Ser) at this position. While this might raise the possibility that a c hange at this position may be tolerated, this occurrence in one species is not s ufficient to make this assumption. Additional computational prediction tools do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. Splicing pre diction tools suggest that this variant may introduce a 3' splice site within th e exon; however, this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogen icity. In summary, the clinical significance of the Gly728Ser variant is uncerta in.

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 rs202195756 in Wolfram's syndrome yet.
