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.L95P variant (also known as c.284T>C), located in coding exon 4 of the MAX gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 284. The leucine at codon 95 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was identified in an individual diagnosed with a pheochromocytoma and/or paraganglioma (Yonamine M et al. Cancers (Basel), 2021 Aug;13:). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. 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. -

Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. In summary, this variant is a novel missense change with uncertain impact on protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a MAX-related disease. This sequence change replaces leucine with proline at codon 95 of the MAX protein (p.Leu95Pro). The leucine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between leucine and proline. -
