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]

LOC100506321 (HGNC:):

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg33*) in the MAX gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MAX are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21685915, 26070438). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with sporadic or hereditary pheochromocytoma (PMID: 21685915, 22452945, 27838885). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 29788) classified as Pathogenic . For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.R33* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.97C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the MAX gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 97. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 3. This mutation has been reported in numerous patients with early-onset pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (Comino-Méndez I et al. Nat. Genet. 2011 Jun;43:663-7; Burnichon N et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 2012 May;18:2828-37). This mutation was also identified in a 25 year-old male with multiple bilateral pheochromoctyomas and bilateral adrenal medullary hyperplasia with all demonstrating negative MAX immunostaining (Romanet P et al. Endocr. Pathol. 2016 Nov [epub ahead of print]). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
