Genetics

In some cases, a de novo missense mutation in EED was associated with decreased levels of H3K27me3 in comparison to wild type. This decrease was linked to loss of PRC2 activity.[2]

Diagnosis

The individuals clinical history or their past health examinations, a current physical examination to check for any physical abnormalities, and a genetic screening of the patients genes and the genealogy of the family are done.[1]

Epidemiology

This is a rare disease and its prevalence and incidence are unknown. It affects males and females equally. It has been reported at least four times in different racial demographics, once in a Turkish, Hispanic, Japanese and Caucasian patient.[1]
