Is there a cure for Angelman Syndrome?
No, but some symptoms can be treated. The condition is permanent but is not degenerative. AS children can look forward to a normal lifespan.

Persons with AS have an irregular chromosome 15. Recent studies have identified an AS gene on chromosome 15. Research is continuing worldwide on the complex genetics of AS to better understand why it occurs. Males and females are affected equally

When children with Angelman Syndrome are observed and studied, many educational and behavioural interventions have been shown to be effective in the areas of communication, behaviour modification, sleep disturbance, general conduct and social skilling

Physical and occupational therapies, speech and language intervention assist AS children.
