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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 04, 2024The p.S142L variant (also known as c.425C>T), located in coding exon 5 of the MAX gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 425. The serine at codon 142 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in individuals with pheochromocytoma (Comino-Méndez I et al. Nat. Genet. 2011 Jun;43(7):663-7; Comino-Méndez I et al. J. Mol. Med., 2015 Nov;93:1247-55; Rattenberry E et al. J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab., 2013 Jul;98:E1248-56). This alteration has also been detected in a cohort of 1336 renal cell carcinoma participants (Yngvadottir B et al. Hum Mol Genet, 2022 Aug;31:3001-3011). One functional assay using a luciferase reporter assay showed luciferase levels of p.S142L similar to wild-type MAX; another functional assay studied the regulation of MYC by MAX and showed that p.S142L did not affect this regulation (Comino-Méndez I et al. J. Mol. Med., 2015 Nov;93:1247-55). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 27, 2022This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 142 of the MAX protein (p.Ser142Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs760147253, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PMID: 21685915, 23666964, 26269449). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 404109). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect MAX function (PMID: 26070438). 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. -
