ΔΔG confidence: Reduced confidence · Lumenal
  • pLDDT 49 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 for Wolfram syndrome (classic) (autosomal recessive, OMIM 222300). Classic Wolfram syndrome is recessive: a single copy does not produce it, and this classification says nothing about a carrier's own risk.

  • Wolfram syndrome (classic)autosomal recessive · OMIM 222300submitted as: Wolfram syndrome 1
  • Submitters conflict on this classification (1★). Treat the conditions above as submitted, not as documented phenotypes.
  • 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.

Highest in South Asian: AF 0.260% (237 of 91,064 alleles), 15.6x the global figure. The global AF describes the general population, not the at-risk group.

No homozygotes reported in gnomAD v4. For a recessive allele this is expected and is not, on its own, evidence either way.

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 794 at pLDDT 49 — RIGHT AT the Category 5 IDR threshold. Computational predictions deserve caution. Neighbors: GLU795 (2.5 Å), ARG793 (2.5 Å), SER792 (3.8 Å).

E794K charge-flips in a borderline IDR region. ΔΔG predictions not trustworthy here. AM 0.24 below threshold but Wolfram 1 documented.

Amino-acid chemistry
Glutamate (E) → Lysine (K) — charge reversal.
Position in the protein
C-terminal lumenal domain · position 794 (pLDDT 49 — IDR boundary).

Druggability Assessment

Category 5 — IDR Exclusion (borderline). pLDDT 49 at the 50 threshold. AlphaMissense 0.24 below threshold. Multiple signals suggest computational caution.

The Atlas routes Category 5 variants to wet-lab characterization rather than computational drug discovery.

Why this matters

E794K is another borderline IDR variant — Atlas appropriately flags for wet-lab work.
