Do you know about Angelman Syndrome?

Today, February 15, is the international day of Angelman Syndrome, but do you know about it? It is a rare genetic disease (chromosome 15 is affected) with a recurrence rate of 1 in 15,000 births.

What does it involve?

Angelman Syndrome presents with hypotonia, ataxia, balance problems, delayed psychomotor development, intellectual disability, strabismus, absence of speech, hyperactivity and attention deficit, insomnia, and other neurological problems such as epilepsy.

What are the characteristics of people with Angelman Syndrome?

People with Angelman Syndrome have some distinct behavioral traits, including an atypical happy behavior characterized by frequent laughter, smiles, and excitability.

They are very sociable. They also have a fascination with water and enjoy activities like swimming and bathing.

How do those affected by Angelman Syndrome work?

For all these reasons, children with Angelman Syndrome need intensive therapies to help develop functional skills. Among many others, they mainly undergo physical therapy and speech therapy. They work hard to achieve abilities that they do not have naturally.
