(none catalogued)

Position 763 sits in the C-terminal lumenal domain (residues 653–869), wolframin's largest soluble region. This domain projects into the ER lumen and is implicated in calcium handling, ER stress sensing, and protein–protein interactions with ATF6 and Na+/K+ ATPase β1. The wild-type residue is titratable basic (histidine — imidazole); the mutant is polar amide (glutamine — H-bond donor/acceptor). The chemistry shift implies altered local packing, hydrogen-bonding, and/or electrostatics at this site.

Inheritance and scope

Uncertain significance — phenotype scope not stated in ClinVar

ClinVar classifies this variant as Uncertain significance, but does not state what it is classified for. ClinVar records the condition only as "Inborn genetic diseases". 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.

Research Path Decision Tree

ΔΔG < 2  + binding site affected   →  CATEGORY 3 — docking experiments
ΔΔG 2–4                            →  CATEGORY 2 — pharmacological chaperones
ΔΔG > 4                            →  CATEGORY 1 — gene therapy
pLDDT < 50                         →  CATEGORY 5 — IDR, experimental only
Stable fold + functional site hit  →  CATEGORY 4 — site-specific docking

Final Schema Categorization

Category 4 — Stable Fold, Function Disrupted

<strong>Category 4 — Stable Fold, Function Disrupted</strong><br/><br/>|ΔΔG|=0.66 negligible. Likely site-specific functional disruption — docking strategy.

Why this card matters. Wolframin's fold survives this substitution (|ΔΔG|=0.66 kcal/mol). The pathogenic signal is real — AlphaMissense places it at 0.458. Protein still folds, but a specific local site is broken. Pharmacological chaperones and small-molecule binders are the rational therapeutic vector.
