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]

Submissions by phenotype

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 09, 2022The p.A126T variant (also known as c.376G>A), located in coding exon 5 of the MAX gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 376. The alanine at codon 126 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMar 24, 2022Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
Hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 26, 2024This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 126 of the MAX protein (p.Ala126Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs779789251, gnomAD 0.003%). 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: 576522). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (Invitae) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MAX function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -
