A case with angelman syndrome

Abstract

Angelman syndrome(AS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by various abnormalties at the 15q11-q13 locus including deletions, uniparental disomy,methylation imprinting abnormalties, or a mutation in the UBE3A gene. Deletions of the 15q11q13 region are found in approximately 70% of AS patients. Affected individuals show severe mental retardation, delayed motor development, language impairment, and characteristic facies. Deletions of 15q11-q13 typically result in Angelman syndrome when inherited from the mother and Prader-Willi syndrome when inherited from the father. We present a child with developmental delay including severe speech impairment, happy disposition, wide-based gait, , a wide mouth, widely-spaced teeth, sleep disturbance and seizures. The karyotype was normal. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used for the detection of chromosome 15(q11-13) deletions (with probes from the PWS/AS region).
