Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	RCV000298399	SCV000450549	uncertain significance	Autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss 6	2018-01-13	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease.

Clinical Genomics, Uppaluri K&H Personalized Medicine Clinic	RCV002509059	SCV002769805	uncertain risk allele	Wolfram syndrome 1		criteria provided, single submitter	research	Potent mutations in WFS1 gene are associated with Wolfram's syndrome, an autosomal recessive condition, which cause diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, deafness and optic atrophy. However no sufficient evidence is found to ascertain the role of this particular variant rs774330485 in Wolfram's syndrome yet.

Invitae	RCV003137967	SCV004654585	uncertain significance	not provided	2023-10-14	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 39 of the WFS1 protein (p.Glu39Lys). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with WFS1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 349304). 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt WFS1 protein function. 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.
