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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 179 of the WFS1 protein (p.Ala179Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs776685250, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with deafness or diabetes (PMID: 36597107, 37277527). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 229647). 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Ala179Thr variant in WFS1 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss or Wolfram syndrome, but has been identified in 2/8632 East As ian chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinst itute.org; dbSNP rs776685250). Computational prediction tools and conservation a nalyses do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. I n summary, the clinical significance of the p.Ala179Thr variant is uncertain. -

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method:clinical testing

The WFS1 c.535G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala179Thr. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.011% 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. -

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 rs776685250 in Wolfram's syndrome yet. -
