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]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 368 of the WFS1 protein (p.Ser368Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs397517194, gnomAD 0.002%). 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: 45429). 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 not expected to disrupt WFS1 protein function with a negative 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. -

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The Ser368Asn varia nt in WFS1 has not been reported in the literature nor previously identified by our laboratory. Computational analyses (biochemical amino acid properties, conse rvation, AlignGVGD, PolyPhen2, and SIFT) suggest that the Ser368Asn variant may not impact the protein, primarily due to lack of full conservation of the Ser368 residue in mammals and minimal biochemical difference between Ser and Asn. Howe ver, these observations are not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with cer tainty; however, based upon the assessment described above, we lean towards a mo re likely benign role. -

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 rs397517194 in Wolfram's syndrome yet. -
