RS Vs Angelman Syndrome - From Sep 97 To Apr 98 Kelsey had the test for angelman syndrome. She was ruled out as having it. Just to clarify that the genetics of angelmans syndrome is fairly complicated http://www.rettsyndrome.org/digests/00028.htm
Extractions: Thursday September 08, 2005 RS vs Angelman Syndrome [from Sep 97] Subj: Angelman Syndrome Date: 97-09-12 00:28:20 EDT Hi Rettneters - she asked me if anyone had ever suggested Angelman Syndrome as a diagnosis for Stefanie. I've heard of it, vaguely, and did some internet research this afternoon on it, and evidently it's a syndrome that is easily confused with Rett Syndrome so that girls could be misdiagnosed. Evidently, there's a test for it - most of the kids have a deletion on chromosome 15, so I guess we'll have the test done (a blood test), but I was just wondering if any of you had received Angelman's as a possible diagnosis for your daughter. Stefanie doesn't really totally fit the criteria for Angelman's (although she also doesn't totally fit the criteria for Rett's either, hence the "atypical" label), so I'm curious. Maybe IRSA/Kathy Hunter could help clarify for me here, too. Thanks in advance - we've already had her diagnosed with ataxic CP and had to deal with the new diagnosis of Rett's 3 years ago, so I feel like here we go again...

Dr. Harry Angelman , a pediatrician working in Warrington Cheshire , first reported three children with this condition in . It was initially presumed to be rare. In , it was first noted that around half of the children with AS have a small piece of chromosome 15 missing ( chromosome 15q partial deletion ). Since this time the condition has been reported more frequently and the incidence is now thought to be 1 in 25,000 children. AS is due to abnormal expression of a group of genes on chromosome 15 . It is likely that at least one of these genes controls development of the brain, especially the parts associated with language, movement and pigmentation. It seems also that some genes influence chemical transmission of messages within the brain. The gene of Angelman syndrome (part of the ubiquitin pathway) is expressed only on the maternal chromosome. The first seven genes in the segment, whose deletion causes

Extractions: @import "../../css/layout.css"; home molecular genetics Angelman Syndrome Angelman Syndrome ( AS ) is characterised by severe developmental delay/mental retardation, gait ataxia, seizures, inappropriate laughter and happy disposition. Approximately 77% of patients have abnormal imprinting patterns within the 15q11-q13 region, caused by of lack of expression of the maternal allele. The mechanisms which give rise to loss of maternal contribution are deletions of the15q region on the maternal chromosome, paternal uniparental disomy ( UPD ) or an imprinting defect. Approximately 23% of true AS patients have mutations in the UBE3A gene and other genes. Such cases are associated with a significant risk of recurrence , estimated at between 20% and 50%. In addition to supplying standard patient and referral information, the following should be clearly indicated: Any family history, including names, dates of birth and genetics test results if available. The genetic diagnostic test detects the presence or absence of the maternal chromosome in the critical disease region 15q11-13. The absence of a maternal contribution confirms a diagnosis of

Extractions: (Originally published in PWSAs The Gathered View by Linda Keder, former editor, March-May 2000. Revised and updated in July 2004 with the assistance of Merlin G. Butler, M.D. Ph.D., Chair, PWSA-USA Scientific Advisory Board.) When the medical world first learned about Prader-Willi syndrome in 1956, doctors had no idea what caused people to have this collection of features and problems that we now know as PWS. In 1981, Dr. David Ledbetter and his colleagues reported a first breakthrough discovery: Many people with PWS that they studied had the same segment of genes missing from one of their chromosomes. They had discovered the deletion on chromosome 15 that accounts for about 70 percent of the cases of PWS. Since then, researchers have made a series of other important discoveries about the genes involved in Prader-Willi syndrome. Thanks to their perseverance, we now know much more about the several genetic forms of this complex disorder, and we have genetic tests that can confirm nearly every case. Changes or errors in genes and chromosomes are common in the formation of egg and sperm cells. Some of these genetic changes will have no effect when a baby is conceived; some will cause a miscarriage; and some, like those in Prader-Willi syndrome, will cause significant differences in how the baby develops and functions. While many genetic disorders are caused by a change in a single gene and can be passed down from parent to child, PWS is more complicated.

Extractions: Angelman syndrome NeuroLearn NeuroHelp Neurodevelopmental Disorders Background ... Gross Pathology BACKGROUND AND CLINICAL INFORMATION Head Summary: Angelman syndrome is also known as the "Happy puppet syndrome". These patients are euphoric, frequently simile and with paroxysms of laughter. They also have unusual but characteristic posture characterized by flexion at the wrists and elbows when the arms are raised such that they resemble on a string. Clinically the patients have developmental delay and severe mental retardation, ataxia, seizure, hypotonia, postnatally developing microbrachyencephaly, and a characteristic facial appearance with macrostomia and prognathia. Abnormalities in the cerebrum have been revealed by Golgi impregnantation but very few cases have been studied histologically. Physical Features/Clinical: Craniofacial: Midface hypoplasia, a large mouth, deep-set eyes and mandibular prognathism (a promient chin). Macrostomia (large tongue) is present in childhood. Many patients have a depression in the occipital bone near the posterior fontanelle which is palpable as a horizontal groove with prominent occipital condyle bilaterally. Typical posture of the upper limbs: They have unusual but characteristic posture characterized by flexion at the wrists and elbows when the arms are raised such that they resemble on a string.

Exploring Autism known association with angelman syndrome, a genetic disorder which share some Linkage disequilibrium at the angelman syndrome gene UBE3A in autism http://www.exploringautism.org/genetics/chrom15.htm
Extractions: Exploring Chromosome 15 For more than 12 years, scientists have noticed that some individuals with autism also have a chromosomal change involving a specific part of chromosome 15 (a region known as chromosome 15q11-q13). These individuals have extra copies (referred to as duplications) of this region on chromosome 15. This finding suggests that these duplications on chromosome 15 may contribute to the development of autism. Researchers have found small segments of DNA (referred to as markers) on chromosome 15 that are seen more frequently in individuals with autism (who by chromosomal analysis have been found not to have an obvious chromosome rearrangement) than in individuals without autism. This statistical effect can only be observed when a group of individuals with autism are studied together. This finding strongly suggests that a gene that contributes to autism is in this region, but the actual gene has not yet been found. The GABA genes Research suggests that another region on chromosome 15 contains gene(s) that contribute to the development of autistic disorder. There are several candidate genes for autistic disorder in this region, including three GABA receptor subunit genes: GABRB3, GABRA5 and GABRG3. These genes contain instructions for making proteins that together form GABA receptors. GABA (g-aminobutyric acid) is a chemical that carries messages between nerve cells. It is in a group of chemicals called neurotransmitters. Research has not found an association between the GABRA5 gene and autistic disorder. However, research suggests that the GABRB3 and GABRG3 genes may be associated with autistic disorder. Further analysis of the GABRB3 and GABRG3 genes is needed to better understand its function and possible association with autistic disorder.

Extractions: Angelman syndrome presents in early childhood with hypotonia followed by motor and intellectual retardation. Affected children are ataxic, epileptic, have absence of speech, and an unusual facies characterized by a large mandible and an open-mouthed expression. Patients demonstrate excessive laughter, an occipital groove, a facility for protruding the tongue, abnormal choroidal pigmentation, and characteristic electroencephalogram (EEG) discharges. This disorder is caused by deletions of chromosome 15q11-q12 (~70% of cases) by uniparental paternal disomy of chromosome 15 (~5%), by mutations in the UBE3A gene (~20%) or by unknown etiology (~5%).
