Description
ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 596878). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This variant disrupts the p.Thr641 amino acid residue in WFS1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on WFS1 protein function. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness (Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs376626985, gnomAD 0.04%). This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 641 of the WFS1 protein (p.Thr641Met).
