Molecular assay reagents intended to identify mutations in the Wolfram syndrome 1 (wolframin) (WFS1) gene, located at chromosome 4p16, which encodes for a transmembrane protein that participates in the regulation of cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis by modulating the filling state of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) store. This inherited genetic mutation has been identified in patients with nonsyndromic deafness; it is also associated with Wolfram syndrome.
