Seizures, cervical spine instability, palatal abnormalities, kyphoscoliosis, congenital heart defects, cryptorchidism, and ophthalmologic findings are treated per standard practice.</p><p><i>Surveillance:</i> Routine assessment of the following: development; spine for scoliosis or deformities; joint range of motion for joint contractures; and eyes for refractive errors, myopia, and strabismus.</p><p><i>Agents/circumstances to avoid:</i> Activities that involve rapid neck motion and/or possible trauma to the head and neck region (e.g., contact sports or thrill rides at amusement parks) because of the possible increased risk for cervical spine instability.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Genetic counseling.</h4><p><i>EED</i>-related overgrowth is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. To date all probands whose parents have undergone molecular genetic testing have the disorder as a result of a <i>de novo</i>
<i>EED</i> pathogenic variant. The risk to the sibs of the proband depends on the genetic status of the proband's parents: if the <i>EED</i> pathogenic variant found in the proband cannot be detected in the leukocyte DNA of either parent, the recurrence risk to sibs is estimated to be 1% because of the theoretic possibility of parental germline mosaicism. Once a family member has a confirmed molecular diagnosis of <i>EED</i>-related overgrowth, prenatal testing for a pregnancy at increased risk and preimplantation genetic testing are possible.</p></div></div><div id="eed-og.Diagnosis"><h2 id="_eed-og_Diagnosis_">Diagnosis</h2><div id="eed-og.Suggestive_Findings"><h3>Suggestive Findings</h3><p><i>EED</i>-related overgrowth <b>should be suspected</b> in individuals with the following major findings.</p><p>

EED is highly conserved among distantly related phyla and is expressed ubiquitously. EED is a core member of the polycomb repressive complex type 2 (PRC2). Other PRC2 members include EZH2, SUZ12, RBBP7, and RBBP4; their complex with EED is thought to be necessary for the lysine methyltransferase activity of PRC2.</p><p>There are seven WD40 domains, though whether these domains have redundant or distinct functions is not yet known. The C-terminal domain of EED binds specifically to trimethylated H3K27 (i.e., H3K27me3) histone tails, and this function is thought to be necessary for the propagation of H3K27me3 marks to daughter cells that initially lack sufficient H3K27 marks after mitosis.</p><p>In general, PRC2 is a key chromatin modifier involved in the maintenance of transcriptional silencing. PRC2-mediated trimethylation of H3K27 is thought to correlate with transcriptional repression of local DNA. Correct propagation of H3K27me3 marks is in turn thought necessary in order for repressive domains to persist in the newly synthesized chromatin [<a class="bibr" href="#eed-og.REF.margueron.2009.762" rid="eed-og.REF.margueron.2009.762">Margueron et al 2009</a>].</p><p><b>Abnormal gene product.</b> In an <i>ex vivo</i> assay, a lymphoblastoid cell line derived from a Japanese individual with the p.(Arg236Thr) pathogenic variant showed reduced levels of H3K27 trimethylation by Western blotting, consistent with reduced methyltransferase activity of the mutated PRC2 complex toward this substrate [<a class="bibr" href="#eed-og.REF.imagawa.2017.637" rid="eed-og.REF.imagawa.2017.637">Imagawa et al 2017</a>].
