Therapeutic Implication · S3

SpliceAI predicts little splicing disruption at this donor (5') site (max ΔS 0.01 < 0.2; acceptor-gain 0.00, acceptor-loss 0.00, donor-gain 0.01, 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 Benign/Likely benign for Wolfram syndrome (classic) (autosomal recessive, OMIM 222300). Classic Wolfram syndrome is recessive: a single copy does not produce it, and this classification says nothing about a carrier's own risk.

  • Wolfram syndrome (classic)autosomal recessive · OMIM 222300submitted as: Wolfram syndrome 1
  • 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 Ashkenazi Jewish: AF 1.83% (535 of 29,194 alleles), 7.0x the global figure. The global AF describes the general population, not the at-risk group.

22 homozygotes reported in gnomAD v4 (8 Ashkenazi Jewish; 2 Middle Eastern; 9 South Asian; 3 European (non-Finnish)). 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.

Inheritance and scope

Benign/Likely benign — for Wolfram syndrome (classic) (autosomal recessive, OMIM 222300)

ClinVar classifies this variant as Benign/Likely benign for Wolfram syndrome (classic) (autosomal recessive, OMIM 222300). Classic Wolfram syndrome is recessive: a single copy does not produce it, and this classification says nothing about a carrier's own risk.
