(2024) identified heterozygosity for the same de novo c.179G-A transition (c.179G-A, NM_002382.5) in exon 4 of the MAX gene, resulting in an arg60-to-gln (R60Q) substitution at a highly conserved residue within the bHLHZ domain. The variant was not present in the dbSNP (build 153) or gnomAD databases, but had been identified 56 times as a somatic mutation in tumor tissue in the COSMIC database. Analysis of transfected HEK293 cells revealed increased transcription and protein levels of CCND2 (123833) with the mutant compared to wildtype MAX. Further analysis demonstrated that the bHLHZ domain of the R60Q mutant disfavored the formation of the repressive homodimeric E-box complex, and partitioned as a heterodimer and specific activating DNA complex with c-Myc (MYC; 190080) more readily than wildtype MAX, likely increasing transcriptional activity. RNA-seq analysis showed broad transcriptional dysregulation in the presence of the R60Q mutant compared to wildtype MAX. (less)

Comment:

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 60 of the MAX protein (p.Arg60Gln). 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: 958620). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MAX function (PMID: 27903915). 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.
