# c.1495_1497del — WFS1 Molecular Atlas Card

**Variant type:** In-frame indel
**Change:** 1 residue(s) deleted in frame at position 499
**Domain context:** Transmembrane helix 7

---

## Schema category: **I1 — Single-residue deletion in a transmembrane helix — likely catastrophic kink**

A single residue removed inside Transmembrane helix 7 shifts the helical register, which typically kinks or unwinds the helix and disrupts membrane insertion — structurally similar to a severe TM missense. Gene therapy track. Predicted structure pending (ColabFold).

---

## Structural prediction

- **Reading frame:** preserved (in-frame) — no premature stop, NMD does not apply.
- **Affected domain:** Transmembrane helix 7
- **Predicted modified structure:** _pending — AlphaFold/ColabFold prediction of the
  modified sequence and backbone-RMSD vs wild-type backfill here (Wave 2)._
