Cat 4
Category 4 — Stable Fold, Function Disrupted
ΔΔG confidence: Low confidence · Transmembrane
  • transmembrane position; predictor benchmarked on soluble proteins
  • pLDDT 62.62 below 70

This variant sits in the transmembrane band. The stability value was computed with a predictor benchmarked on water-soluble proteins. Published benchmarks of ddG predictors on membrane proteins report correlation below 0.4. Treat the magnitude as unreliable and the sign as weak evidence only.

The underlying AlphaFold model has pLDDT below 70 at this position, so the structure the stability calculation was run on is itself uncertain.

Do not rank this value against a variant from a different region on ΔΔG alone.

Classified for1★ unverified submission

ClinVar classifies this variant as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity, but does not state what it is classified for. ClinVar records the condition only as "not provided". 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★ conflicting classifications. ClinVar "conditions" is the union of all submissions; 0–1★ entries are submitted conditions, not documented phenotypes.

Highest-frequency population
South Asian · AF 0.144%

Highest in South Asian: AF 0.144% (131 of 91,086 alleles), 16.6x the global figure. The global AF describes the general population, not the at-risk group.

2 homozygotes reported in gnomAD v4 (2 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.

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 592 in TM9. Neighbors: GLU593 (2.4 Å), SER591 (2.5 Å), PHE589 (4.0 Å — TM9 start).

L592V conservative volume reduction in TM9. AM 0.13 under-call; Conflicting clinical evidence.

Amino-acid chemistry
Leucine (L) → Valine (V) — branched aliphatic to smaller branched aliphatic. Conservative volume reduction.
Position in the protein
TM9 (residues 589–609) · position 592 (pLDDT 63 borderline).

Druggability Assessment

Category 4 — Stable Fold, Function Disrupted (AM under-call, pLDDT borderline). |ΔΔG| 0.52. AlphaMissense 0.13 below threshold.

Mechanism: conservative TM9 volume reduction. Therapeutic: TM9 site-directed.

Why this matters

L592V is TM9 — same helix as P607L/P607R. TM9 cluster grows.
