Structural Context

UniProt features at this position:

(none catalogued)

Position 845 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 medium hydrophobic (isoleucine — branched); the mutant is small polar (threonine — hydroxyl). The chemistry shift implies altered local packing, hydrogen-bonding, and/or electrostatics at this site.

Inheritance and scope

Uncertain significance — for Nonsyndromic hearing loss (DFNA6/14/38) (autosomal dominant, OMIM 600965); Cataract 41 (autosomal dominant, OMIM 116400); Wolfram syndrome (classic) (autosomal recessive, OMIM 222300); Wolfram-like syndrome (autosomal dominant, OMIM 614296); WFS1-related diabetes (autosomal dominant)

ClinVar classifies this variant as Uncertain significance for Nonsyndromic hearing loss (DFNA6/14/38) (autosomal dominant, OMIM 600965); Cataract 41 (autosomal dominant, OMIM 116400); Wolfram syndrome (classic) (autosomal recessive, OMIM 222300); Wolfram-like syndrome (autosomal dominant, OMIM 614296); WFS1-related diabetes (autosomal dominant). 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.

This rests on a single submitter (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.

• Autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss 6
• Cataract 41
• Wolfram syndrome 1
• Wolfram-like syndrome
• Type 2 diabetes mellitus

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 2 — Moderately Destabilizing

<strong>Category 2 — Moderately Destabilizing</strong><br/><br/>|ΔΔG|=2.33 in the 2–4 range. Pharmacological chaperone candidate.
