Higher WFS1 genotype scores (variant frame, transmembrane location) tracked earlier diabetes mellitus and optic atrophy onset in 324 Wolfram patients, not hearing loss or diabetes insipidus.

The paper evaluates differential expression methods for metatranscriptomes, identifies limitations, and proposes improvements using real datasets from gnotobiotic mice and clinical studies.

This study investigates the genotype-phenotype relationship in Wolfram syndrome, finding that specific WFS1 gene variants correlate with earlier onset and more severe disease manifestations.
