Clinical Evidence
Observed in the general population.
ClinVar classifies this variant as Benign/Likely benign for WFS1-related spectrum (unresolved mode) (dominant or recessive); Wolfram syndrome (classic) (autosomal recessive, OMIM 222300); Nonsyndromic hearing loss (DFNA6/14/38) (autosomal dominant, OMIM 600965). 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.

- 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: 2★ multiple submitters, no conflicts. ClinVar "conditions" is the union of all submissions; 0–1★ entries are submitted conditions, not documented phenotypes.
Highest in African / African American: AF 0.845% (634 of 75,070 alleles), 17.0x the global figure. The global AF describes the general population, not the at-risk group.
2 homozygotes reported in gnomAD v4 (2 African / African American). 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.

R558= — WFS1 Molecular Atlas Card
Variant type: Synonymous (silent) Codon: position 558 (Arginine, R) — amino acid unchanged Domain context: Lumenal loop 4
Schema category: Silent — Silent — no amino-acid change
No amino-acid change (R558 is unchanged): the codon is altered but the protein sequence is identical to wild-type. No structural, stability or AlphaMissense effect applies. Synonymous variants are typically benign unless they affect splicing or regulatory elements; this one is not adjacent to an exon boundary.

Inheritance and scope
Benign/Likely benign — for WFS1-related spectrum (unresolved mode) (dominant or recessive); Wolfram syndrome (classic) (autosomal recessive, OMIM 222300); Nonsyndromic hearing loss (DFNA6/14/38) (autosomal dominant, OMIM 600965)
