## Structural Context

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| **AlphaFold model** | AF-O76024-F1, v6 |
| **pLDDT at residue 219** | **53.28** — confident |
| **Domain** | N-terminal cytoplasmic (intrinsically disordered) |
| **Position context** | N-terminal cytoplasmic (intrinsically disordered) |
| **IDR flag** | No — pLDDT above 50 threshold |

**UniProt features at this position:**

  (none catalogued)

> Position 219 sits in N-terminal cytoplasmic (intrinsically disordered). The wild-type residue is small hydrophobic (valine — branched); the mutant is small/hydrophobic (alanine — methyl sidechain). The chemistry shift implies altered local packing, hydrogen-bonding, and/or electrostatics at this site.

## 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 4 — Stable Fold, Function Disrupted**

<strong>Category 4 — Stable Fold, Function Disrupted</strong><br/><br/>|ΔΔG|=0.42 negligible. Likely site-specific functional disruption — docking strategy.

**Why this card matters.** Wolframin's fold survives this substitution (|ΔΔG|=0.42 kcal/mol). The pathogenic signal is real — AlphaMissense places it at 0.377. Protein still folds, but a specific local site is broken. Pharmacological chaperones and small-molecule binders are the rational therapeutic vector.
