PhenomeGene — Human Disease Gene Website SeriesEHMT2

Clinical Characteristics

So far, only a few children with changes in the EHMT2 gene have been identified. Even though the number of cases is small, some shared features have been observed:
●    Developmental delays, such as later-than-expected milestones in sitting, walking, or speaking;
●    Learning and communication difficulties, affecting cognitive and social interactions;
●    Low muscle tone, which may result in reduced muscle strength or a "floppy" appearance
●    Subtle differences in facial appearance, which may vary among affected individuals;

It’s important to know that not every child with an EHMT2alteration will exhibit all these features, and the severity and spectrum of clinical manifestations can differ significantly.
