Ataxia and cerebellar anomalies - narrow panel
Gene: WFS1PMID: 33693650 - Panfili et al 2021 - report an additional case of an 11 year old patient with Wolfram syndrome (diabetes mellitus and initial signs of optic atrophy) in which 2 novel variants in WFS1, c.316-1G > A (in intron 3) and c.757A > T (in exon 7), were identified by WES. Both are predicted to produce truncated and inactive protein. One variant was inherited from each parent. Most disease associated variants to date have been found in exon 8. Wildtype WFS1 protein was absent in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of the proband and there was no evidence of ER stress activation but very high levels of proinflammatory cytokines and a high ratio of proinflammatory T helper type 17 cells to regulatory T cells was found, suggesting that WFS1 deficiency may cause effects other than alterations in unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling pathways related to ER stress.Created: 6 May 2021, 9:34 a.m. | Last Modified: 6 May 2021, 9:34 a.m.
