WFS1 Wolframin — S334R Variant Card

Molecular Atlas Pilot · RareResearch.AI · Generated by wolfram-variant-card skill

Serine → Arginine at position 334. Cytoplasmic loop 1. ClinVar Uncertain significance, AlphaMissense 0.986, DynaMut2 ΔΔG -0.19 kcal/mol (destabilising).

Identity

Structural Context

UniProt features at this position:

(none catalogued)

Position 334 sits in a connecting loop between transmembrane helices. Loop residues are typically solvent-exposed and often contribute to interhelical contacts or serve as recognition sites for binding partners. The wild-type residue is small polar (serine — hydroxyl); the mutant is positively charged (arginine — guanidinium, strong H-bond donor). The chemistry shift implies altered local packing, hydrogen-bonding, and/or electrostatics at this site.

Clinical Evidence

Inheritance and scope

Uncertain significance — phenotype scope not stated in ClinVar

ClinVar classifies this variant as Uncertain significance, but does not state what it is classified for. ClinVar records the condition only as "Inborn genetic diseases". 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.

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 3/4 — Most Druggable

<strong>Category 3/4 — Most Druggable</strong><br/><br/>|ΔΔG|=0.19 < 2 kcal/mol (fold intact) + AlphaMissense 0.986 confirms functional impact. Specific local contacts disrupted — priority for docking and pharmacological chaperone screening.

Why this card matters. Wolframin's fold survives this substitution (|ΔΔG|=0.19 kcal/mol). The pathogenic signal is real — AlphaMissense places it at 0.986. Protein still folds, but a specific local site is broken. Pharmacological chaperones and small-molecule binders are the rational therapeutic vector.
