## Identity

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| **Variant** | C765R (p.Cysteine765Arginine) |
| **DNA change** | c.2293T>C |
| **Gene · Protein** | WFS1 · Wolframin (890 aa) |
| **UniProt** | O76024 · WFS1_HUMAN |
| **ClinVar accession** | VCV000166604 |
| **Amino acid change** | Cysteine (C) → Arginine (R) — thiol-bearing residue replaced by large positively-charged guanidinium. Loss of disulfide potential plus charge introduction. |

## Structural Context

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| **AlphaFold model** | AF-O76024-F1, v6 |
| **pLDDT at residue 765** | **89.19** — well-folded |
| **Domain** | C-terminal lumenal domain (653-869) |
| **Position context** | C-terminal lumenal domain · position 765 in the ER lumen (pLDDT 89). |
| **IDR flag** | No — pLDDT above 50 threshold |

**UniProt features at this position:**

  - Chain: 1-890 Wolframin
  - Topological domain: 653-869 Lumenal

> Position 765 sits in wolframin's C-terminal lumenal domain. The AlphaFold model places C765 within 5 Å of HIS766 (2.4 Å — partner of D771H Atlas card region), PRO764 (2.5 Å), GLU737 (3.2 Å — same E737 as G736R/G736S neighbor), ALA738 (4.0 Å), and TYR739 (4.2 Å).

C765 was the partner residue identified in the C733G Atlas card (3.5 Å distance — possible disulfide). C765R replaces the cysteine at the OTHER end of this potential disulfide. The combination of C733G (cysteine removed) + C765R (cysteine replaced by arginine) at the inferred disulfide pair confirms both cysteines are pathogenic when mutated.

The |ΔΔG| of 1.06 reflects substantial fold cost. AlphaMissense's 0.991 (near-maximum) confirms severe functional consequence.

## 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 3/4 — Most Druggable**

<strong>Category 3/4 — Most Druggable.</strong> |ΔΔG| = 1.06 — fold survives. AlphaMissense 0.991 confirms severe functional consequence.<br/><br/>Mechanism is loss of the inferred C733-C765 disulfide bond plus charge introduction. Therapeutic strategy: site-directed at the C733-C765 microregion (same target as C733G).

**Why this card matters.** C765R + C733G are the two pathogenic variants at opposite ends of the inferred C733-C765 disulfide. Two convergent variant targets at the same disulfide pair.
