Genes affected

MAX (HGNC:6913): (MYC associated factor X) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (bHLHZ) family of transcription factors. It is able to form homodimers and heterodimers with other family members, which include Mad, Mxi1 and Myc. Myc is an oncoprotein implicated in cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. The homodimers and heterodimers compete for a common DNA target site (the E box) and rearrangement among these dimer forms provides a complex system of transcriptional regulation. Mutations of this gene have been reported to be associated with hereditary pheochromocytoma. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 7. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]

The p.D135H variant (also known as c.403G>C), located in coding exon 5 of the MAX gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 403. The aspartic acid at codon 135 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 135 of the MAX protein (p.Asp135His). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MAX-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 568216). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
