Wolfram syndrome is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and deafness. It is also known by the acronym of the key features of the disorder: DIDMOAD. Wolfram syndrome has been associated with mutations in both the WFS1 and CISD2 genes. Additional clinical findings may include renal abnormalities, ataxia, dementia, intellectual disability, and psychiatric illness. The minimal criteria for diagnosing Wolfram syndrome are juvenile onset diabetes mellitus and optic atrophy. Heterozygous pathogenic variants in WFS1 have been reported to be associated with low-frequency non-syndromic deafness, neonatal diabetes, and adult-onset diabetes. This panel includes sequence and deletion/duplication analysis of the listed genes.
