Computational Predictions
- transmembrane position; predictor benchmarked on soluble proteins
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.
Do not rank this value against a variant from a different region on ΔΔG alone.
Clinical Evidence
Observed at very low frequency in gnomAD.
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 in South Asian: AF 0.103% (94 of 91,080 alleles), 12.2x the global figure. The global AF describes the general population, not the at-risk group.
3 homozygotes reported in gnomAD v4 (3 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 469 in TM5 — first TM5 variant at v3 depth. Neighbors: LEU468 (2.5 Å), LEU470 (2.5 Å), GLY466 (3.8 Å). Hydrophobic TM environment.
S469L removes hydroxyl from TM5 (favorable energetically), but the wild-type serine's H-bond capacity supported functional geometry. AM 0.18 under-call; Conflicting evidence.
Druggability Assessment
Mechanism: lost serine H-bonding in TM5. Therapeutic: TM5 site-directed.
