  • pLDDT 64.88 below 70

The underlying AlphaFold model has pLDDT below 70 at this position, so the structure the stability calculation was run on is itself uncertain.

Do not rank this value against a variant from a different region on ΔΔG alone.

Classified for1★ unverified submission

ClinVar classifies this variant as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity, 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: 1★ conflicting classifications. 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.

Structural Context

Position 797 sits in the lumenal C-terminal region. Neighbors: VAL798 (2.4 Å), ASP796 (2.4 Å — adjacent aspartate), GLU794 (4.2 Å), THR799 (4.3 Å).

Replacing D797 with valine eliminates the negative charge in a local charged cluster (D796, E794 nearby). Fold accommodates (ΔΔG essentially zero). AlphaMissense 0.876 confirms severe consequence. Same position as D797N — both pathogenic.

Amino-acid chemistry
Aspartate (D) → Valine (V) — negatively-charged carboxylate replaced by branched aliphatic hydrophobic.
Position in the protein
C-terminal lumenal domain · position 797 (pLDDT 65 borderline).

Druggability Assessment

Category 4 — Stable Fold, Function Disrupted (pLDDT caveat). ΔΔG ≈ 0. AlphaMissense 0.876 confirms severe consequence. pLDDT 65 borderline.

Mechanism: charge loss from local D796-D797-E794 cluster. Therapeutic: site-directed at this charge cluster.

Why this matters

D797V + D797N at same position. Charge cluster D796-D797-E794 is a recognition surface; multiple variants disrupt it.
