rs734312, or His611Arg, is a SNP located in exon 8 of the WFS1 gene. An A at this SNP encodes histidine and a G encodes arginine.

A single study [PMID 17719176] found this SNP to be associated with medication overuse headache (sample consisting of 82 MOH patients). Compared to the His/His genotypes, those carrying two Arg alleles had a significantly higher monthly drug consumption (p = 0.00075) and higher severe depressive scores on the Beck Depression Index (p = 0.003).

His611Arg is also potentially implicated in type-2 diabetes. In a sample of 3,234 high diabetes risk individuals, Arg/Arg carriers had a generally higher insulinogenic index and lower insulin sensitivity levels, while His allele carriers followed the opposite pattern. Arg/Arg carriers also responded strongly to metformin and lifestyle changes, with significantly elevated insulinogenic levels (p = 0.007 for metformin, p = 0.06 for lifestyle changes) and normalized insulin sensitivity.
