Computational Predictions
- transmembrane position; predictor benchmarked on soluble proteins
This variant sits in the transmembrane band. The stability value was computed with a predictor benchmarked on water-soluble proteins. Published benchmarks of ddG predictors on membrane proteins report correlation below 0.4. Treat the magnitude as unreliable and the sign as weak evidence only.
Do not rank this value against a variant from a different region on ΔΔG alone.
Clinical Evidence
Observed in the general population.
ClinVar classifies this variant as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity for Cataract 41 (autosomal dominant, OMIM 116400); Nonsyndromic hearing loss (DFNA6/14/38) (autosomal dominant, OMIM 600965); WFS1-related diabetes (autosomal dominant); Wolfram syndrome (classic) (autosomal recessive, OMIM 222300); Wolfram-like syndrome (autosomal dominant, OMIM 614296). These are two clinically distinct disease families: classic Wolfram syndrome requires two affected copies, while the dominant WFS1-related disorders do not. One label covers both, and it does not tell you which applies to a given person.

- 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 South Asian: AF 0.070% (64 of 91,090 alleles), 6.9x the global figure. The global AF describes the general population, not the at-risk group.
1 homozygote reported in gnomAD v4 (1 South Asian). gnomAD excludes individuals with severe pediatric disease, so homozygotes in this dataset argue against a fully penetrant severe recessive phenotype and belong in the clinical picture. This is interpretive signal, not a classification.

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 871 at TM11 start. Neighbors: HIS872 (2.5 Å — same H872 as K876T/A874T), THR870 (2.5 Å), TRP867 (3.7 Å — aromatic). The H872-V871-T870-W867 region is the TM11 start.
V871G removes side chain creating cavity in TM11 hydrophobic core. |ΔΔG| 0.76 + AM 0.27 under-call + multi-phenotype confirm pathogenicity.
Druggability Assessment
Mechanism: cavity creation at TM11 start. Therapeutic: TM11 multi-variant cluster.
