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]

Identified in patients with hearing loss or congenital cataracts in published literature; patients were also heterozygous for WFS1 p.(RP607L); it is unknown if the two variants are on the same allele (in cis) or on opposite alleles (in trans) (PMID: 36729443, 26969326, 36597107); Identified as a single heterozygous variant in patients with congenital cataracts in published literature (PMID: 32883240, 37592116, 37337769); 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: 34426522, Turkyilmaz2021[article], 36597107, 37592116, 26969326, 36729443, 36208030, 37337769, 32883240, 37719678) -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 868 of the WFS1 protein (p.Arg868His). This variant is present in population databases (rs56393026, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of WFS1-related conditions (PMID: 26969326, 32883240, 36597107, 36729443). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 215403). 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. -

Variant summary: WFS1 c.2603G>A (p.Arg868His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Wolframin, OB-fold domain (IPR045461) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 9.2e-05 in 250092 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0002 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2603G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with nonsyndromic hearing loss and congenital cataract, without strong evidence for causality (Billings_2022, Fan_2020, Liu_2023, Ma_2023, Sloan-Heggen_2016). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Wolfram Syndrome 1. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 36208030, 32883240, 37337769, 36597107, 26969326). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 215403). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.1.1, this variant is classified as VUS - 3B. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease for this gene. Truncating variants and some missense variants have been shown to result in a loss of function disease mechanism (OMIM). (N) 0104 - Dominant Negative is a known mechanism of disease for this gene. Missense variants have also been functionally proven to result in a dominant negative disease mechanism. There is no distinction between the location of the missense variants, and their disease mechanism. (PMID: 32219690). (N) 0108 - This gene is known to be associated with both recessive and dominant disease. Biallelic truncating variants, and missense variants have been reported for recessive disease, while some missense with a proven dominant negative effect on protein, have been shown to cause a dominant form of disease (PMID: 32219690). (N) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to histidine (exon 8). (N) 0251 - Variant is heterozygous. (N) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD v2 <0.01 for a recessive condition (26 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (P) 0309 - An alternative amino acid change at the same position has been observed in gnomAD v2 (14 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (N) 0502 - Missense variant with conflicting in silico predictions and/or uninformative conservation. (N) 0604 - Variant is not located in an established domain, motif, hotspot or informative constraint region. (N) 0705 - No comparable variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. An alternative change (p.Arg868Cys) has been reported as a VUS (LOVD). (N) 0808 - Previous reports of pathogenicity are conflicting. This variant has been reported as causative variant in a patient with hearing loss (PMID: 26969326), but also as a VUS (ClinVar, LOVD) and as likely benign (deafnessvariationdatabase). (N) 0905 - No segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (N) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (N) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available. (N) Legend: (P) - Pathogenic, (N) - Neutral, (B) - Benign -
