We are Fundraising for Angelman Syndrome
ABOUT ANGELMAN SYNDROME
The BFDN will endeavour to raise awareness and funds for Angelman Syndrome.
Angelman Syndrome is a neuro-genetic disorder that manifests itself in the form of severe developmental and intellectual delay and is caused by the deletion or inactivation of genes on the chromosome 15 which is maternally inherited. This rare condition affects approximately 1 in 25,000 people and is usually diagnosed between the ages of 18 months and 6 years.
Individuals with Angelman Syndrome tend to have a happy demeanour, characterized by frequent laughing, smiling and excitability. Many individuals with Angelman Syndrome are attracted to water and take great pleasure in activities like swimming and bathing.
People living with AS require life-long care, intense therapies to help develop functional skills and improve their quality of life, and close medical supervision often involving multiple medical interventions. Absent speech or some limited speech, balance difficulties, seizures and life-long care are the hallmark characteristics of Angelman Syndrome and often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed as autism or cerebral palsy since these other conditions have some similar characteristics.
