  • Stiff or jerky movements
  • Small head size, with flatness in the back of the head (microbrachycephaly)

People with Angelman syndrome often smile and laugh frequently, and have happy, excitable personalities.

Developmental delays, between about 6 and 12 months of age, are usually the first signs of Angelman syndrome. Seizures often begin between the ages of 2 and 3 years old.

People with Angelman syndrome tend to live a normal life span, but the disease cannot be cured. Treatment focuses on managing medical and developmental issues.]]> 2018-03-26 13:22:12 UTC https://padlet.com/silisknight/m024l2pyxwoi/wish/246063552 COMMON TREATMENTS AND CONTROL OF DISEASE silisknight https://padlet.com/silisknight/m024l2pyxwoi/wish/246064078 There's no cure for Angelman syndrome. Research is focusing on targeting specific genes for treatment. Current treatment focuses on managing the medical and developmental issues. 

  • Anti-seizure medication to control seizures
  • Physical therapy to help with walking and movement problems
  • Communication therapy, which may include sign language and picture communication
  • Behavior therapy to help overcome hyperactivity and a short attention span and to aid in development

It's usually caused by problems with a gene located on chromosome 15 called the ubiquitin protein ligase E3A (UBE3A) gene.]]> 2018-03-26 13:26:42 UTC https://padlet.com/silisknight/m024l2pyxwoi/wish/246066485 INHERITANCE silisknight https://padlet.com/silisknight/m024l2pyxwoi/wish/246069629 Most cases of Angelman syndrome are not inherited, particularly those caused by a deletion in the maternal chromosome 15 or by paternal uniparental disomy. These genetic changes occur as random events during the formation of reproductive cells (eggs and sperm) or in early embryonic development.]]> 2018-03-26 13:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/silisknight/m024l2pyxwoi/wish/246069629 AFFECTED POPULATION silisknight https://padlet.com/silisknight/m024l2pyxwoi/wish/246070390 Angelman syndrome affects males and females in equal numbers. The prevalence of Angelman syndrome is estimated to be approximately 1 in 12,000-20,000 people in the general population.]]> 2018-03-26 13:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/silisknight/m024l2pyxwoi/wish/246070390 WORK CITED silisknight https://padlet.com/silisknight/m024l2pyxwoi/wish/246074325 https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/angelman-syndrome#genes
