Wild-type vs Modified Structure
Left: full-length wild-type wolframin (890 aa). Right: the ColabFold (AlphaFold2) prediction of the 8-aa in-frame duplication product — the affected region near residue 502 (Transmembrane helix 7) is highlighted in both panes. Backbone Cα-RMSD over the folded core is 3.14 Å.
Variant Assessment
Modified-sequence structure resolved. The 8-aa in-frame duplication was modeled with ColabFold (AlphaFold2, full-MSA; mean pLDDT 69.8) 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

Clinical Evidence
Not observed in ~730k individuals — consistent with a rare allele (ACMG PM2_supporting).
ClinVar classifies this variant as Likely pathogenic for WFS1-related spectrum (unresolved mode) (dominant or recessive). ClinVar records this under a WFS1-spectrum label that spans both disease families — recessive Wolfram syndrome (biallelic) and the dominant WFS1-related disorders. The label does not resolve which applies, and it is not a severity statement.

Review status: 0★ no assertion criteria provided. ClinVar "conditions" is the union of all submissions; 0–1★ entries are submitted conditions, not documented phenotypes.
No population breakdown — the variant is absent from gnomAD v4, so no ancestry group has an observed frequency.
No homozygotes — the variant is absent from gnomAD v4 altogether.
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.

Variant type: In-frame indel Change: 8 residue(s) deleted in frame at position 502 Domain context: Transmembrane helix 7
Schema category: I3 — Multi-residue in-frame indel — likely major structural disruption
8 residues removed in frame around position 502 (Transmembrane helix 7). 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 7
- Predicted modified structure: pending — AlphaFold/ColabFold prediction of the modified sequence and backbone-RMSD vs wild-type backfill here (Wave 2).
