AlphaMissense + AlphaFold card. This variant is mapped from AlphaMissense pathogenicity and AlphaFold confidence. The DynaMut2 ΔΔG stability prediction and the wild-type/mutant structural comparison (dual-pane + bond network) are computed per-variant and backfill here — they require a DynaMut2 submission, unlike the precomputed AlphaMissense score.

Classified for2★ documented assertion

ClinVar classifies this variant as Uncertain significance for WFS1-related diabetes (autosomal dominant). These are dominant WFS1-related disorders and are clinically distinct from classic recessive Wolfram syndrome. This classification is not a statement about Wolfram syndrome 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: 2★ multiple submitters, no conflicts. ClinVar "conditions" is the union of all submissions; 0–1★ entries are submitted conditions, not documented phenotypes.

Highest in South Asian: AF 0.022% (20 of 91,080 alleles), 16.1x the global figure. The global AF describes the general population, not the at-risk group.

1 homozygote reported in gnomAD v4 (1 South Asian). gnomAD excludes individuals with severe pediatric disease, so homozygotes in this dataset argue against a fully penetrant severe recessive phenotype and belong in the clinical picture. This is interpretive signal, not a classification.

Uncertain significance — for WFS1-related diabetes (autosomal dominant)

ClinVar classifies this variant as Uncertain significance for WFS1-related diabetes (autosomal dominant). These are dominant WFS1-related disorders and are clinically distinct from classic recessive Wolfram syndrome. This classification is not a statement about Wolfram syndrome severity.

Presentation cannot be generalised from neighbouring variants: one nucleotide over can present very differently. Structural similarity supports a mechanistic hypothesis, never a phenotype claim.
