About Angelman Syndrome

Angelman Syndrome is an incredibly rare disorder impacting about one in every 15,000 people, meaning there are approximately 22,000 individuals in the US with Angelman Syndrome and about 500,000 worldwide.

Because Angelman Syndrome creates psychological, behavioral, and physical symptoms, individuals with Angelman Syndrome generally require significant levels of support from family members. They often have short attention spans, intellectual disabilities, hyperactivity, digestive issues, motor impairments, trouble communicating, and many other challenges.

Fortunately, researchers believe we may be close to discovering a cure. Scientists have determined the root cause of Angelman Syndrome, and they’ve even reversed Angelman Syndrome in research mice.

Despite the challenges presented by Angelman Syndrome, many people with AS live long, happy lives when supported by their family, friends, doctors, and caregivers!
