What is Angelman syndrome?
Angelman syndrome is a rare neurogenetic disorder caused by the disruption of the UBE3A gene, which encodes a critical protein people need to communicate, move, and learn. People living with Angelman syndrome suffer from severe developmental delays, mobility issues, difficulty sleeping, and seizures.
