What is angleman's syndrome?

Angleman syndrome is where your DNA is either not fully there or you have an extra part. If not all of it is there it makes some of the parts of your brain not develop as well. If you have an extra piece than it doesn't make a protein that causes the parts of the brain to develop. either way If you have it you may not talk at all or talk very late in your life. If you do talk you will not talk as often or as much and it will never be your number one source of communication. You might use sign language or a communication book. you also have jerky movements and seizures, you will have very happy facial expressions because the part of the brain that deals with frowning and being sad isn't very developed. Some other things you may have include... Global Developmental Delays, Hipotonia, Acid reflux, Epilepsy, and others.
