ΔΔG confidence: Reduced confidence · Transmembrane
  • transmembrane position; predictor benchmarked on soluble proteins

This variant sits in the transmembrane band. The stability value was computed with a predictor benchmarked on water-soluble proteins. Published benchmarks of ddG predictors on membrane proteins report correlation below 0.4. Treat the magnitude as unreliable and the sign as weak evidence only.

Do not rank this value against a variant from a different region on ΔΔG alone.

ClinVar classifies this variant as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity for Wolfram syndrome (classic) (autosomal recessive, OMIM 222300); Cataract 41 (autosomal dominant, OMIM 116400); Wolfram-like syndrome (autosomal dominant, OMIM 614296); Nonsyndromic hearing loss (DFNA6/14/38) (autosomal dominant, OMIM 600965); WFS1-related diabetes (autosomal dominant). These are two clinically distinct disease families: classic Wolfram syndrome requires two affected copies, while the dominant WFS1-related disorders do not. One label covers both, and it does not tell you which applies to a given person.

  • Submitters conflict on this classification (1★). Treat the conditions above as submitted, not as documented phenotypes.
  • Phenotype scope is interpretation of submitted records. The computed values on this card (AlphaMissense, DynaMut2 ΔΔG, pLDDT) are measurements of the model, not of a patient.
  • Presentation cannot be generalised from neighbouring variants: one nucleotide over can present very differently. Structural similarity supports a mechanistic hypothesis, never a phenotype claim.

Review status: 1★ conflicting classifications. ClinVar "conditions" is the union of all submissions; 0–1★ entries are submitted conditions, not documented phenotypes.

Highest in Admixed American: AF 0.027% (16 of 59,984 alleles), 4.0x the global figure. The global AF describes the general population, not the at-risk group.

1 homozygote reported in gnomAD v4 (1 European (non-Finnish)). gnomAD excludes individuals with severe pediatric disease, so homozygotes in this dataset argue against a fully penetrant severe recessive phenotype and belong in the clinical picture. This is interpretive signal, not a classification.

Structural Context

Position 326 same neighbors as A326E/A326V: ASN325 (2.5 Å), LEU327 (2.5 Å), HIS322 (3.6 Å).

A326T is the THIRD substitution at position 326 (with A326E charge, A326V volume). Position 326 is structurally inflexible regardless of substitution chemistry — three variants confirm this. AM 0.13 under-call; multi-phenotype confirms.

Amino-acid chemistry
Alanine (A) → Threonine (T) — small replaced by polar hydroxyl.
Position in the protein
TM1 (residues 314–334) · position 326 (pLDDT 77). Same as A326E, A326V.

Druggability Assessment

Category 3/4 — Most Druggable (AM under-call). |ΔΔG| 0.79. AlphaMissense 0.13 below threshold but multi-phenotype + three-substitution position confirm pathogenicity.

Mechanism: polarity introduction at structurally critical TM1 position. Therapeutic: same TM1 microregion as A326E, A326V.

Why this matters

A326T completes the THIRD substitution at position 326 — three pathogenic variants establish position 326 as inflexible.
