Therapeutic Implication · Silent

No amino-acid change (Q584 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.

Classified for2★ documented assertion

ClinVar classifies this variant as Likely benign for Wolfram-like syndrome (autosomal dominant, OMIM 614296); Cataract 41 (autosomal dominant, OMIM 116400); Nonsyndromic hearing loss (DFNA6/14/38) (autosomal dominant, OMIM 600965); WFS1-related diabetes (autosomal dominant); Wolfram syndrome (classic) (autosomal recessive, OMIM 222300). These are two clinically distinct disease families: classic Wolfram syndrome requires two affected copies, while the dominant WFS1-related disorders do not. One label covers both, and it does not tell you which applies to a given person.

Highest in African / African American: AF 0.025% (19 of 74,944 alleles), 11.7x the global figure. The global AF describes the general population, not the at-risk group.

No homozygotes reported in gnomAD v4. For a recessive allele this is expected and is not, on its own, evidence either way.
