Wolfram Syndrome – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033
Wolfram syndrome, also referred to as DIDMOAD, is a hereditary condition commonly characterized by childhood-onset insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and progressive optic atrophy. It is caused by mutations in two genes: WFS1 (4p16.1) and CISD2 (4q24). WFS1 produces Wolframin, a protein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that maintains calcium levels and responds to unfolded proteins. Mutations in WFS1 are primarily responsible for most Wolfram syndrome symptoms, defining WS1. CISD2, on the other hand, encodes the ERIS protein, which moves dynamically between the ER and the outer membrane of mitochondria, regulating glucose homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, calcium balance, and autophagy. Mutations in CISD2 lead to WS2. Common symptoms of Wolfram syndrome encompass diabetes mellitus, optic nerve deterioration, central diabetes insipidus, sensorineural hearing loss, urinary tract issues, and progressive neurological challenges. Diabetes mellitus is the initial sign, often diagnosed around the age of 6, followed by optic nerve damage characterized by diminished color and peripheral vision by around age 11. Central diabetes insipidus affects approximately 70% of Wolfram patients. Sensorineural hearing loss occurs in about 65% of cases, varying from congenital deafness to gradual hearing loss starting in adolescence. Neurological issues, particularly ataxia, commonly arise in early adulthood in more than 60% of individuals with Wolfram syndrome. Presently, there are no treatments capable of halting or reversing the progression of Wolfram syndrome. However, diligent clinical monitoring and supportive care can alleviate symptoms and enhance patients' quality of life. Supportive management includes regular screening for diabetes mellitus, vision impairment, urinary function, kidney health, and insulin injections, along with dietary control for diabetes. Additionally, management involves addressing central diabetes insipidus, respiratory issues, urinary problems, and psychological well-being through prophylactic measures, antibiotic therapy for urinary infections, and periodic evaluation for depression and other psychiatric symptoms.

Wolfram syndrome type 1 is estimated to affect
1 in 500,000 people globally, with approximately 200 reported cases in
scientific literature. Wolfram syndrome type 2 is rare, with only a few
Jordanian families identified with this condition.
