Abstract excerpt
Context: Weaver syndrome is characterized by tall stature, advanced bone age, characteristic facies, and variable intellectual disability. It is caused by heterozygous mutations in enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a histone methyltransferase responsible for histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27) trimethylation. However, no early truncating mutations have been identified, suggesting that null mutations do not cause...
