What is
Angelman Syndrome
Angelman Syndrome is a rare neurogenetic disorder characterized by developmental and intellectual disabilities. Currently, there is no cure for Angelman Syndrome, and patients and their families face significant challenges and uncertainties in terms of the disease and available treatments. They greatly need the attention and support of the public.
The incidence rate of Angelman Syndrome is approximately 1 in every 12,000 to 20,000 individuals. Currently, there is no cure for Angelman Syndrome, but there are ongoing medical research efforts related to pharmaceutical treatments. The existing approaches primarily focus on managing the symptoms of the condition. For example, doctors may prescribe anti-seizure medications to control seizures. Early intervention and supportive therapies can also help improve the quality of life for patients.
