This variant is in a water-facing region, which is the regime the stability predictor was built and benchmarked for. Ordinary predictor error still applies.

Classified for1★ unverified submission

ClinVar classifies this variant as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity for WFS1-related diabetes (autosomal dominant); Wolfram syndrome (classic) (autosomal recessive, OMIM 222300). These are two clinically distinct disease families: classic Wolfram syndrome requires two affected copies, while the dominant WFS1-related disorders do not. One label covers both, and it does not tell you which applies to a given person.

  • WFS1-related diabetesautosomal dominantsubmitted as: Monogenic diabetes
  • 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 African / African American: AF 0.123% (92 of 74,994 alleles), 16.7x 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 analysis: LYS108 (2.5 Å — same K108 as G107E neighbor!), TYR110 (2.5 Å — adjacent existing Y!), VAL106 (3.6 Å — same V106 as G107E neighbor). Same G107-K108-H109 cluster. The Atlas's neighbor extraction surfaces this variant's contacts and connects them to the broader multi-variant target landscape.

Druggability Assessment

Cat 4 stabilising — see structural prose. AlphaMissense below threshold (AM under-call class) but mechanism is structurally identified. Therapeutic strategy: site-directed at contacts identified above, or wet-lab validation if pLDDT borderline/below 50.

Why this matters

H109Y + G107E in same K108 cluster.
