vs WT · folded core (n=165)

Modified-sequence structure resolved. The 4-aa in-frame deletion was modeled with ColabFold (AlphaFold2, full-MSA; mean pLDDT 70.8) and superposed on the wild-type AlphaFold model. Kabsch-superposed Cα-RMSD over high-confidence (WT pLDDT>70) residues N-terminal to the lesion; cross-pipeline, includes ~few-Å method baseline

Therapeutic Implication · I3

4 residues removed in frame around position 341 (Transmembrane helix 2). A change this size usually perturbs local packing and can propagate to the fold. Gene therapy is the primary path unless an AlphaFold prediction of the modified sequence shows a surprisingly intact fold. Predicted structure pending (ColabFold).

c.1021_1032del — WFS1 Molecular Atlas Card

Variant type: In-frame indel Change: 4 residue(s) deleted in frame at position 341 Domain context: Transmembrane helix 2

Schema category: I3 — Multi-residue in-frame indel — likely major structural disruption

4 residues removed in frame around position 341 (Transmembrane helix 2). A change this size usually perturbs local packing and can propagate to the fold. Gene therapy is the primary path unless an AlphaFold prediction of the modified sequence shows a surprisingly intact fold. Predicted structure pending (ColabFold).

Structural prediction

  • Reading frame: preserved (in-frame) — no premature stop, NMD does not apply.
  • Affected domain: Transmembrane helix 2
  • Predicted modified structure: pending — AlphaFold/ColabFold prediction of the modified sequence and backbone-RMSD vs wild-type backfill here (Wave 2).
