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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpNov 13, 2023This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 677 of the WFS1 protein (p.Ala677Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs757027394, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of WFS1-related conditions (PMID: 26969326, 33046911). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 198834). Advanced 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 at Invitae 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 26, 2024Variant summary: WFS1 c.2029G>A (p.Ala677Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in 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 8.8e-05 in 250488 control chromosomes (i.e. in 22 carriers) in the gnomAD database (v2.1 dataset). The variant, c.2029G>A, has been reported in the literature in heterozygous state in individuals affected with nonsyndromic hearing loss and type 2 diabetes (e.g. Sloan-Heggen_2016, Bonnefond_2020, Adeyemo_2021). These reports 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: 26969326, 33046911, 34837038). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 198834). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

WFS1-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJun 25, 2024The WFS1 c.2029G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala677Thr. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with hearing loss (Table S3, Sloan-Heggen et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26969326; Table 1, Adeyemo et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34837038). This variant has also been identified in an affected individual from a type 2 diabetes cohort study (Table S3, Bonnefond et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 33046911). This variant is reported in 0.016% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Childhood onset hearing loss Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterresearchNational Institute on Deafness and Communication Disorders, National Institutes of HealthJul 08, 2021PP3 / Modifications from PMID: 30311386 for classification: The genetic causes of hearing loss have not yet been well characterized in the Yoruba population, and the information regarding variant MAF in this population is still limited, so we did not exclude any variant based on their "high" MAF. PP3 criteria was applied even if the REVEL score was below 0.7, if at least two of the pathogenicity prediction algorithms used predicted that the variant was damaging or likely damaging. -
