Embryonic ectoderm development (EED) is gene that encodes a protein that belongs to the Polycomb-group family. The protein contributes to the maintenance of the transcriptional repressive state of genes over successive cell generations. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift deletions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, skin cancer, and stomach cancer.

EED is altered in 0.85% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and high grade ovarian serous adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
