Therapeutic Implication · Silent

No amino-acid change (T600 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 Benign for WFS1-related spectrum (unresolved mode) (dominant or recessive); Nonsyndromic hearing loss (DFNA6/14/38) (autosomal dominant, OMIM 600965); Wolfram syndrome (classic) (autosomal recessive, OMIM 222300). 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.

Highest in African / African American: AF 3.64% (2733 of 75,050 alleles), 16.8x the global figure. The global AF describes the general population, not the at-risk group.

55 homozygotes reported in gnomAD v4 (51 African / African American; 2 Admixed American; 1 Remaining individuals; 1 South Asian). 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.
