Abstract:The Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 is an epigenetic reader/writer that methylates histone H3K27. Rare germline partial loss of function (pLoF) variants in core members of the complex (EZH2, EED, SUZ12) cause overgrowth and intellectual disability syndromes, whereas somatic variants are implicated in cancer. However, up to 1% of the general population will have a rare variant in one of these genes, most of which would be classified as variants of uncertain significance (VoUS). Towards screening these VoUS for pa… Show more
