Angelman Syndrome
Angelman Syndrome (AS) is a serious neurological disorder that is caused by the loss of genetic material in a certain region of chromosome 15. This genetic disorder is characterized by severe developmental delays, intellectual disability, motor disorders, and speech impairment. Affected individuals typically present with a distinct facial appearance, frequent laughter, and excitable movements. AS is diagnosed through genetic testing, and while there is no definitive treatment available, various interventions can help improve the quality of life of those affected. Early diagnosis is important for early intervention and better outcomes.
