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 Uncertain significance, but does not state what it is classified for. ClinVar records no condition for this variant. 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★ single submitter. 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.

UniProt features at this position:

(none catalogued)

Position 766 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 negatively charged (aspartate — carboxylate). 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 no condition for this variant. 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.

Final Schema Categorization

Category 3/4 — Most Druggable

<strong>Category 3/4 — Most Druggable</strong><br/><br/>|ΔΔG|=0.29 < 2 kcal/mol (fold intact) + AlphaMissense 0.817 confirms functional impact. Specific local contacts disrupted — priority for docking and pharmacological chaperone screening.

Why this card matters. Wolframin's fold survives this substitution (|ΔΔG|=0.29 kcal/mol). The pathogenic signal is real — AlphaMissense places it at 0.817. Protein still folds, but a specific local site is broken. Pharmacological chaperones and small-molecule binders are the rational therapeutic vector.
