What is Angelman syndrome?

Angelman syndrome (AS) is a rare neurogenetic disorder that affects

approximately one in 15,000 people – about 500,000 individuals

worldwide. Children and adults with AS typically have balance issues,

motor impairment and debilitating seizures. Some individuals never walk.

Most do not speak. Disrupted sleep cycles also can be a serious challenge

to the individual and caretaker(s). Individuals with AS require continuous

care and are unable to live independently. They have a normal life

expectancy. In most cases, Angelman syndrome isn’t inherited. Angelman

syndrome was named after Harry Angelman, an English pediatrician, who

first described the syndrome in 1965.
