What is Angelman Syndrome?
Angelman syndrome (AS) is a rare disorder caused by the loss of function of a single gene and affects approximately 500,000 people worldwide.
Symptoms typically become noticeable around the age of 6-12 months and may include difficulty suckling and eating, gastrointestinal issues, delayed crawling and babbling, balance and motor impairment, and seizures. Some individuals never walk, and most do not speak. And while they require continuous care, they have a normal life expectancy and a distinctly happy demeanor, characterized by frequent laughing, smiling and excitability.
