Computational Predictions
- 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.
Clinical Evidence
Not observed in ~730k individuals — consistent with a rare allele (ACMG PM2_supporting).
ClinVar classifies this variant as Uncertain significance, but does not state what it is classified for. ClinVar records no condition for this variant. A classification without a phenotype and an inheritance mode cannot be read as a statement about Wolfram syndrome risk or severity.
- 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★ single submitter. ClinVar "conditions" is the union of all submissions; 0–1★ entries are submitted conditions, not documented phenotypes.
No population breakdown — the variant is absent from gnomAD v4, so no ancestry group has an observed frequency.
No homozygotes — the variant is absent from gnomAD v4 altogether.
Source: gnomAD r4, retrieved 2026-08-21. Values are allele frequencies. The carrier estimate is derived from the allele frequency (Hardy-Weinberg, ~2·AF) and is an approximation, not a published figure — where a published carrier frequency exists it outranks this column and is cited on the card.

UniProt features at this position:
(none catalogued)
Position 529 sits in a connecting loop between transmembrane helices. Loop residues are typically solvent-exposed and often contribute to interhelical contacts or serve as recognition sites for binding partners. The wild-type residue is thiol (cysteine — disulfide-capable, free -SH); the mutant is positively charged (arginine — guanidinium, strong H-bond donor). The chemistry shift implies altered local packing, hydrogen-bonding, and/or electrostatics at this site.

Inheritance and scope
Uncertain significance — phenotype scope not stated in ClinVar
ClinVar classifies this variant as Uncertain significance, but does not state what it is classified for. ClinVar records no condition for this variant. A classification without a phenotype and an inheritance mode cannot be read as a statement about Wolfram syndrome risk or severity.
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.

Research Path Decision Tree
ΔΔG < 2 + binding site affected → CATEGORY 3 — docking experiments
ΔΔG 2–4 → CATEGORY 2 — pharmacological chaperones
ΔΔG > 4 → CATEGORY 1 — gene therapy
pLDDT < 50 → CATEGORY 5 — IDR, experimental only
Stable fold + functional site hit → CATEGORY 4 — site-specific docking
Final Schema Categorization
Category 4 — Stable Fold, Function Disrupted
<strong>Category 4 — Stable Fold, Function Disrupted</strong><br/><br/>|ΔΔG|=0.25 negligible. Likely site-specific functional disruption — docking strategy.
Why this card matters. Wolframin's fold survives this substitution (|ΔΔG|=0.25 kcal/mol). The pathogenic signal is real — AlphaMissense places it at 0.519. Protein still folds, but a specific local site is broken. Pharmacological chaperones and small-molecule binders are the rational therapeutic vector.
