Therapeutic Implication · S3

SpliceAI predicts little splicing disruption at this donor (5') site (max ΔS 0.00 < 0.2; acceptor-gain 0.00, acceptor-loss 0.00, donor-gain 0.00, donor-loss 0.00). The variant may be tolerated or act through a weak/again-tissue-specific mechanism; wet-lab RNA validation is the arbiter before any therapeutic call.

Classified for2★ documented assertion

ClinVar classifies this variant as Likely benign for Cataract 41 (autosomal dominant, OMIM 116400); Wolfram-like syndrome (autosomal dominant, OMIM 614296); 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.

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

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.

Schema category: S3 — Minimal predicted splicing impact (SpliceAI ΔS 0.00)

SpliceAI predicts little splicing disruption at this donor (5') site (max ΔS 0.00 < 0.2; acceptor-gain 0.00, acceptor-loss 0.00, donor-gain 0.00, donor-loss 0.00). The variant may be tolerated or act through a weak/again-tissue-specific mechanism; wet-lab RNA validation is the arbiter before any therapeutic call.
