## Structural Context

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| **AlphaFold model** | AF-O76024-F1, v6 |
| **pLDDT at residue 42** | **28.84** — **IDR (below 50 threshold)** |
| **Domain** | N-terminal intrinsically disordered region (1-86) |
| **Position context** | N-terminal IDR |
| **IDR flag** | YES — pLDDT below 50 (Cat 5) |

**UniProt features at this position:**

  - Chain: 1-890 Wolframin
  - Region: 1-321 Interaction with ATP6V1A
  - Region: 1-86 Disordered

> Position analysis: ALA43 (2.4 Å — A43V!), PRO41 (2.5 Å), ARG40 (4.8 Å). pLDDT 29 deep IDR. Adjacent to A43V. The Atlas's neighbor extraction surfaces this variant's contacts and connects them to the broader multi-variant target landscape.

## 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 5 — IDR Exclusion**

<strong>Cat 5 IDR — see structural prose.</strong> AlphaMissense below threshold (AM under-call class) but mechanism is structurally identified. Therapeutic strategy: site-directed at contacts identified above, or wet-lab validation if pLDDT borderline/below 50.

**Why this card matters.** IDR adjacent to A43V.
