WFS1 Wolframin — W371G Variant Card

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

Tryptophan → Glycine at position 371. Transmembrane helix 3. ClinVar Uncertain significance, AlphaMissense 0.908, DynaMut2 ΔΔG -2.34 kcal/mol (destabilising).

Structural Context

UniProt features at this position:

(none catalogued)

Position 371 sits in a transmembrane helix (Transmembrane helix 3). Wolframin has eleven such helices anchoring it in the ER membrane; substitutions inside the bilayer-embedded segments can disrupt helix packing, lipid contacts, and the overall ER topology of the protein. The wild-type residue is bulky aromatic (tryptophan — indole ring); the mutant is small/flexible (glycine — backbone flexibility, no sidechain). The chemistry shift implies altered local packing, hydrogen-bonding, and/or electrostatics at this site.

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 2 — Moderately Destabilizing

<strong>Category 2 — Moderately Destabilizing</strong><br/><br/>|ΔΔG|=2.34 in the 2–4 range. Pharmacological chaperone candidate.
