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

The p.Lys239Arg variant in WFS1 has not been previously reported in any other fa milies with hearing loss or in any individuals with WFS1-related disorders. This variant has also been identified in 3/33580 Latino chromosomes by the Genome Ag gregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs727503747) ; however its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. Comput ational prediction tools and conservation analyses do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Lys239Arg variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2; BP4 (Ri chards 2015). -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.716A>G (p.K239R) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 6) of the WFS1 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 716, causing the lysine (K) at amino acid position 239 to be replaced by an arginine (R). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 239 of the WFS1 protein (p.Lys239Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs727503747, gnomAD 0.009%). 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: 166574). 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%. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. -

Significance:Uncertain risk allele

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:research

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 rs727503747 in Wolfram's syndrome yet. -
