Computational Predictions
Clinical Evidence
Not observed in ~730k individuals — consistent with a rare allele (ACMG PM2_supporting).
Structural Context
Position 733 sits in wolframin's C-terminal lumenal domain. The AlphaFold model places C733 within 5 Å of ARG732 (2.4 Å — same R732 as G736R neighbor), LEU734 (2.5 Å), CYS765 (3.5 Å — possible disulfide partner!), TRP730 (3.7 Å), and ASP729 (4.0 Å).
The C733-C765 distance of 3.5 Å is consistent with a possible disulfide bond in the oxidizing ER lumen. The Atlas's C690R/C690Y cards discuss a similar C673-C690 inferred disulfide; C733-C765 may be a second analogous structural disulfide in the lumenal domain.
Replacing C733 with glycine eliminates this potential disulfide entirely. The fold loses a major structural anchor. The |ΔΔG| of 1.15 reflects this — meaningful destabilization for a single substitution. AlphaMissense's 0.912 + Wolfram 1 clinical evidence confirm severe functional consequence.
Druggability Assessment
Mechanism is loss of an inferred C733-C765 disulfide bond. Therapeutic strategy: site-directed at the C765 partner site, potentially with a small molecule that bridges the two former cysteines.
