Condition

Wolfram Syndrome 1

Assembled from catalogue records November 5, 2026

Wolfram Syndrome 1, as genome-wide studies have reported it: 28 positions from 1 study. Built from the GWAS Catalog's records and rebuilt when a new position is reported; the figures are the studies'.

What this condition connects to

Prevalence
No prevalence figure appears here: association records do not measure how common a condition is.
Inheritance
The records show a polygenic pattern — 28 positions from 1 study, each a common variant of small effect. How much of Wolfram Syndrome 1 is inherited is not something they measure.

Genome-wide studies have so far placed 28 positions on Wolfram Syndrome 1, from 1 study; the GWAS Catalog files the condition as "Wolfram syndrome 1". MyGeneLog's code assembles this page from those records and rebuilds it when a new position is reported — nothing here was written by hand, and nothing here goes beyond what the records say.

The studies, one by one

A study. It contributes 28 positions: rs1038816435 (WFS1), rs104893879 (WFS1), rs104893880 (WFS1), rs104893881 (WFS1), rs1064794257 (WFS1), rs1189512943 (WFS1), rs1191510461 (WFS1), rs1310304264 (WFS1), and 20 more.

The positions

The 28 positions lie in or near 1 gene: WFS1. A gene named here is the catalogue's mapped location for a position, not a mechanism; the studies are cited above so that a reader can go to them.

What these records can and cannot tell you

Read this page as a list of findings about Wolfram Syndrome 1, not as an account of it. Each finding is a position that a genome-wide study linked to the condition across a population; the page adds no description, no prevalence and no advice, because the records hold none. The variant pages linked above give each study's record for its position, and ClinVar's where one exists.

Clinical detail

Genotype and diagnosis

Wolfram Syndrome 1 is diagnosed by a clinician — not from a genotype. None of the 28 variants on this page is used by any guideline to predict, screen for or diagnose it.

Everything here comes from population-level association records, put together by code. Those records compare groups of people; they do not examine anyone, and they give no guidance on care. For symptoms, testing or treatment, ask a clinician.

Questions about Wolfram Syndrome 1

What is Wolfram Syndrome 1?

Wolfram Syndrome 1 is the condition the GWAS Catalog files under "Wolfram syndrome 1". This page does not define it in its own words; it lists what genome-wide studies have reported: 28 positions from 1 study, with each study's sample and citation.

Is Wolfram Syndrome 1 genetic?

Genes play a part: 28 positions have been linked to it. But each is a common variant of small effect, and a link found across a population does not cause the condition in any one person.

Which genes are linked to Wolfram Syndrome 1 on this page?

The catalogue maps the positions to 1 gene: WFS1. These are where the positions sit, not proof of how they act.

Can these variants predict whether I will get Wolfram Syndrome 1?

No. Each variant shifts the odds only slightly, and only on average across many people. No guideline predicts Wolfram Syndrome 1 from a genotype; a clinician diagnoses it.
