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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a topological_domain Lumenal (size 216) in uniprot entity WFS1_HUMAN there are 92 pathogenic changes around while only 24 benign (79%) in NM_006005.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.917
• PP5: Variant 4-6302220-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr4-6302220-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 215413.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr4-6302220-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic]. Variant chr4-6302220-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The WFS1 c.2425G>A (p.Glu809Lys) variant is a missense variant that has been reported in at least six individuals with Wolfram-like syndrome (Matsunaga et al. 2014; Chaussenot et al. 2015; Prochazkova et al. 2016; De Franco et al. 2017). The variant was noted to be found in a de novo state in three individuals for whom parental samples were available for testing (Prochazkova et al. 2016; De Franco et al. 2017). Affected individuals show clinical features of diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, hearing loss, psychomotor delay, hypotonia and intellectual disability. Dysmorphic features are not common but have been noted in one patient (Prochazkova et al. 2016). The p.Glu809Lys variant is not found in the Genome Aggregation Database in either version 2.1.1 or version 3.1.1 in a region of good sequence coverage, so the variant is presumed to be rare. The Glu809 residue is located in the C-terminal region of the protein. Functional studies have shown that the p.Glu809Lys variant affects protein folding and has a dominant negative effect on the wild-type protein in HeLa and HEK293 cells, as measured by significantly increased endoplasmic reticulum stress response reporter activity in cells expressing the variant protein (De Franco et al. 2017; Batjargal et al. 2020). Based on the available evidence, the p.Glu809Lys variant is classified as pathogenic for Wolfram-like syndrome. -

Published functional studies demonstrate that this variant induces endoplasmic reticulum stress by affecting the protein folding and processing (De Franco et al., 2017); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27535533, 28468959, 25211237, 27217304) -
