CNV-gainCopy-number duplication — 4p16.3-11

Gene-level event

This is a large copy-number / structural variant spanning Chromosome 4p16.3-11. It acts by gene dosage rather than by altering a single residue, so there is no per-residue AlphaFold structure to display — see the assessment and ClinVar evidence below.

Status

Therapeutic Implication · CNV-gain

This is a large copy-number duplication spanning 4p16.3-11 — a gene-level event causing an extra copy of this region (gene over-dosage / partial trisomy). CNVs act by dosage rather than by altering a single residue, so AlphaFold residue mapping, ΔΔG, NMD and AlphaMissense don't apply. Therapeutically these are gene-replacement candidates (restore a working copy); per-residue chaperone/readthrough strategies are not relevant. Confirm breakpoints and gene content against the ClinVar record below.

Not observed in ~730k individuals — consistent with a rare allele (ACMG PM2_supporting).

Classified for1★ unverified submission

ClinVar classifies this variant as Pathogenic, but does not state what it is classified for. ClinVar records the condition only as "See cases". 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.

Population frequency
Global (all ancestries)
Absent from gnomAD v4
Homozygotes
Not available

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.
