  • Angelman Disease: Dr. Harry Angleman

    1006 Words  | 3 Pages

    In 1980, the first reported case of Angelman disease was reported in America. As more and more children were being diagnosed with Angelmans disease, a professor from the University of Florida, Dr. Charles Williams, started researching the disease. Years went by with no progress, but then in 1987 Dr. Williams discovered that a code was missing from chromosome 15. This new information was a breakthrough, but it would still until 1997 to figure out that the UBE3A gene on chromosome 15 was mutilated or missing in patients diagnosed with Angelman disease. Since 1997 doctors and scientists have been able to find that Angelman disease is a neuro-genetic disorder which means that Angelman disease is very complex and attacks the nervous system. They have also been able to determine that the disease is rarely inherited and that the mutilation of the UBE3A gene occurs during sperm and egg formation.

    Angelman syndrome has symptoms that can be easily mistaken for cerebral palsy or autism. Symptoms of the disorder include developmental delay, lack of speech, seizures, walking and balance disorders, sleep disturbances, hyperactivity, and frequent laughter or smiling. If a baby or child is diagnosed with Angelman syndrome, they will require life-long care due to the fact that there is no cure. Due to having similarities with autism and cerebral palsy, Angelman syndrome is often misdiagnosed. Misdiagnoses are a prevalent problem today, which can also lead to late diagnoses as well.
