WFS1 Wolframin — T156K Variant Card

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

Threonine → Lysine at position 156. N-terminal cytoplasmic (intrinsically disordered). ClinVar Uncertain significance, AlphaMissense 0.910, DynaMut2 ΔΔG -0.56 kcal/mol (destabilising).

Identity

Structural Context

UniProt features at this position:

(none catalogued)

Position 156 sits in N-terminal cytoplasmic (intrinsically disordered). The wild-type residue is small polar (threonine — hydroxyl); the mutant is positively charged (lysine — primary amine). The chemistry shift implies altered local packing, hydrogen-bonding, and/or electrostatics at this site.

DynaMut2

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 no condition for this variant. 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|=0.56 < 2 kcal/mol (fold intact) + AlphaMissense 0.910 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|=0.56 kcal/mol). The pathogenic signal is real — AlphaMissense places it at 0.910. Protein still folds, but a specific local site is broken. Pharmacological chaperones and small-molecule binders are the rational therapeutic vector.
