  • pLDDT 41.91 below 70

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 for Wolfram syndrome (classic) (autosomal recessive, OMIM 222300). Classic Wolfram syndrome is recessive: a single copy does not produce it, and this classification says nothing about a carrier's own risk.

  • Wolfram syndrome (classic)autosomal recessive · OMIM 222300submitted as: Wolfram syndrome 1
  • Submitters conflict on this classification (1★). Treat the conditions above as submitted, not as documented phenotypes.
  • 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 African / African American: AF 0.087% (65 of 74,942 alleles), 18.4x the global figure. The global AF describes the general population, not the at-risk group.

No homozygotes reported in gnomAD v4. For a recessive allele this is expected and is not, on its own, evidence either way.

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 790 at pLDDT 42 — DEEP IDR. Sparse neighbors (GLY789, ARG791, ASP788). DynaMut2 untrustworthy.

S790W introduces massive aromatic volume into a disordered region. AM 0.15 under-call. Wolfram documented.

Amino-acid chemistry
Serine (S) → Tryptophan (W) — small polar hydroxyl replaced by bulky aromatic indole. Massive volume increase.
Position in the protein
C-terminal lumenal domain · position 790 (pLDDT 42 — deep IDR).

Druggability Assessment

Category 5 — IDR Exclusion. pLDDT 42 deep IDR. AlphaMissense 0.15 below threshold. DynaMut2 prediction not trustworthy.

The Atlas routes Category 5 variants to wet-lab characterization.

Why this matters

S790W is deep-IDR — Atlas flags for wet-lab work.
