Angelman Syndrome affects one in 12,000 to one in 20,000 individuals. Exact numbers of people who have the syndrome are unknown, but can be estimated by: 1,854,057,000 (estimated world population of people less than 15 years old from the PRB 2008 Data Sheet) divided by 12,000 and by 20,000: somewhere between 92,702 and 154,504 individuals.

This page describes each genotype of AS and the risk associated with each genotype. Genetic counseling by a trained geneticist and/or genetic counselor is always advised and should done before any decision is made.

∙ 13y agoIt rather depends on the genetic mechanism the mother has and the defect an affected child has. There are at least 5 genetic mechanisms involved and these are only the ones that are known. For example, if a child has a deletion or uniparental disomy, the risk to future children is typically less than 1%. If, however, there is an imprinting defect or a mutation of the UBE3A gene, the risk can be as high as 50%.
There's no way to answer your question without "if this", "then that". Risks to siblings depends on the genetic situation which can't be defined by a single scenario.

Who identified Angelman syndrome?
in 1965 Harry Angelman
What is Angelman's Syndrome's scientific name?
Angelman syndrome's scientific name is "AS," or "Angelman syndrome." It is a genetic disorder characterized by developmental delays, speech impairments, and unique behaviors. It is caused by a loss of function in a specific gene located on chromosome 15.
Is Angelman syndrome the same as Down syndrome?
Angelman syndrome is a genetic disorder, as is Down syndrome. But they are not the same. Angelman Syndrome involves a deletion of Chromosome 15, whereas people with Down syndrome have an extra copy of Chromosome 21.
What percentage of babies is born with Angelman syndrome?
Approximately 1 in 15,000 - 20,000 babies is born with Angelman syndrome, making it a rare genetic disorder.
Do black people have angelman syndrome?
Yes. All races and both males and females get Angelman Syndrome.
Life expectancy of angelman syndrome?
People with Angelman Syndrome often live the average life expectancy of their gender.
Is angelman syndrome a recessive or a dominant?
It is recessive
Angelman syndrome effects gender and ethnicity?
no
Which is NOT a symptom of metabolic syndrome?
Metabolic syndrome is a set of medical risk factors. These factors determine the risk of certain diseases.
Is angelman syndrome autosomal?
"Autosomal" means the syndrome or disorder of interest is pertaining to a chromosome that is not a sex chromosome, either X or Y. Angelman and Prader-Willi Syndrome are both caused by a deletion (or disruption of a gene) on chromosome 15, which is an autosomal chromosome and not a sex chromosome. Therefore, yes, Angelman syndrome is considered an autosomal syndrome.
What organisms are used in researching angelman syndrome and how are they used?
Mice and humans are used in researching Angelman Syndrome. In mice, the condition is genetically induced, and then a medical trial treatment is applied. In humans, previously approved treatments for other illnesses are used on individuals that were born with Angelman Syndrome.
Is there a test to detect angelman syndrome?
molecular genetic testing?
