Population frequency too high for a penetrant Wolfram allele — stand-alone benign evidence (ACMG BA1).

Structural Context

Position 456 in connecting loop. Neighbors: ARG457 (2.5 Å — R457S partner!), THR455 (2.5 Å), GLU452 (3.6 Å — likely salt-bridge).

R456H + R457S both at the R456-R457 double-arginine cluster. Partial charge reduction + perturbed E452 salt bridge. |ΔΔG| 1.26 substantial; AM 0.16 under-call; multi-phenotype confirms.

Amino-acid chemistry
Arginine (R) → Histidine (H) — charge partial-reduction.
Position in the protein
Connecting loop · position 456 (pLDDT 86).

Druggability Assessment

Category 3/4 — Most Druggable (AM under-call). |ΔΔG| 1.26. AlphaMissense 0.16 below threshold but multi-phenotype + substantial ΔΔG confirm pathogenicity.

Mechanism: partial charge loss from R456-R457 cluster + E452 salt-bridge disruption. Therapeutic: same loop as R457S.

Why this matters

R456H + R457S — adjacent variants in 456-457 charged cluster.
