Structural Context

Position 412 in TM3. Neighbors: PHE413 (2.5 Å), SER411 (2.5 Å), LEU409 (3.8 Å), PHE408 (3.9 Å — TM3-TM7 interface position).

Replacing V412 with leucine is the most conservative substitution at this position. Yet ΔΔG -0.47 + AM 0.663 + WFS1 spectrum confirm pathogenicity. Mechanism is volume mismatch with surrounding F413, S411 environment and perturbation of the F408 TM3-TM7 contact.

Amino-acid chemistry
Valine (V) → Leucine (L) — branched aliphatic to branched aliphatic. Modest volume increase.
Position in the protein
TM3 (residues 402–422) · position 412 (pLDDT 94).

Druggability Assessment

Category 3/4 — Most Druggable. |ΔΔG| = 0.47. AlphaMissense 0.663 confirms pathogenicity.

Mechanism: conservative volume mismatch in TM3 + F408 interface perturbation. Therapeutic: TM3-TM7 interface.

Why this matters

V412L + V412A at same position — both pathogenic despite extremely conservative chemistry. Position 412 in TM3 is structurally inflexible.
