This variant is in a water-facing region, which is the regime the stability predictor was built and benchmarked for. Ordinary predictor error still applies.

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 East Asian: AF 0.069% (31 of 44,886 alleles), 18.9x 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 analysis: ILE259 (2.4 Å), GLY257 (2.5 Å), LYS253 (3.5 Å — same K253 as K252E region). The Atlas's neighbor extraction surfaces this variant's contacts and connects them to the broader multi-variant target landscape.

Druggability Assessment

Cat 4 — see structural prose. AlphaMissense below threshold (AM under-call class) but mechanism is structurally identified. Therapeutic strategy: site-directed at contacts identified above, or wet-lab validation if pLDDT borderline/below 50.
