WFS1-related isolated diabetes induced by a WFS1 missense mutation: focus on the isolated diabetes phenotype [PDF]
Background Wolfram syndrome is a rare disease caused by the mutation of WFS1 gene, characterized as s spectrum of disorders. We aim to investigate the clinical features and pathogenic mechanisms of a WFS1 missense mutation inducing atypical phenotype ...

Topology of <i>WFS1</i> Variants Linked With Islet Function and Higher Risk of Urological Symptoms in <i>WFS1</i>-Associated Disease. [PDF]
Wolfram syndrome type 1 gene (WFS1), which encodes a transmembrane (TM) structural protein (wolframin), is essential for several biological processes. Mutations of WFS1, autosomal dominant or recessive inherited, are related to a broad clinical spectrum.

Common variants in WFS1 confer risk of type 2 diabetes [PDF]
We studied genes involved in pancreatic β cell function and survival, identifying associations between SNPs in WFS1 and diabetes risk in UK populations that we replicated in an Ashkenazi population and in additional UK studies.

Selective proteasome degradation of C‐terminally‐truncated human WFS1 in pancreatic beta cells
Wolfram syndrome is a monogenic disease mainly caused by mutations in the WFS1 gene. Mutations in the WFS1 gene give rise to diabetes. Here, we characterized mutant WFS1 proteins by studying the stability of full‐length wild‐type (WT) WFS1, a missense ...

GLP-1 receptor agonists as promising disease-modifying agents in WFS1 spectrum disorder
WFS1 spectrum disorder (WFS1-SD) is a rare monogenic neurodegenerative disorder whose cardinal symptoms are childhood-onset diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, deafness, diabetes insipidus, and neurological signs ranging from mild to severe.
