Clinical Evidence
Not observed in ~730k individuals — consistent with a rare allele (ACMG PM2_supporting).
ClinVar classifies this variant as Pathogenic, but does not state what it is classified for. ClinVar records the condition only as "not provided". 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: 0★ no assertion criteria provided. 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.

4p16.3-16.1 deletion — WFS1 Molecular Atlas Card
Variant type: Copy-number variant (deletion) Region: Chromosome 4p16.3-16.1 (gene-level structural event)
CNV-loss — Copy-number deletion — 4p16.3-16.1
This is a large copy-number deletion spanning 4p16.3-16.1 — a gene-level event causing loss of one copy of this region (wolframin haploinsufficiency or, with a second hit, loss of function). 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.
