Neurodevelopmental profile in Angelman syndrome: more than low intelligence quotient
BACKGROUND Angelman Syndrome (AS) is a rare neurodevelopment disorder resulting from deficient expression or function of the maternally inherited allele of UBE3A gene. The aim of the study is to attempt at providing a detailed definition of neurodevelopmental profile in AS, with particular regard to motor, cognitive, communicative, behavioural and neurovisual, features by using standardized ins...
متن کاملAngelman syndrome: insights into genomic imprinting and neurodevelopmental phenotypes.
Angelman syndrome (AS) is a severe genetic disorder caused by mutations or deletions of the maternally inherited UBE3A gene. UBE3A encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase that is expressed biallelically in most tissues but is maternally expressed in almost all neurons. In this review, we describe recent advances in understanding the expression and function of UBE3A in the brain and the etiology of AS. W...
متن کاملAngelman syndrome: are the estimates too low?
More than 300 cases of Angelman Syndrome (AS) have been reported. AS is still considered a clinical diagnosis because only approximately 80% of those individuals who meet the clinical criteria will have a maternal deletion of chromosome 15q11-13. Of the reported cases of AS, very few are of adults with AS. We present our findings on 11 adults with AS identified in a long-term residential care f...

A structure theorem is proved for finite groups with the property that, for some integer m with m 1⁄2 2, every proper quotient group can be generated by m elements but the group itself cannot. 1991 Mathematics subject classification (Amer. Math. Soc.): 20D20.
متن کاملAngelman syndrome.
Angelman syndrome is a disorder in humans [2] that causes neurological symptoms such as lack of speech, jerky movements, and insomnia. A human cell has two copies of twenty-three chromosomes for a total of forty-six?one copy from its mother and one from its father. But in the case of Angelman syndrome, the maternal chromosome numbered 15 has a mutation or deletion in its DNA and a gene on the p...
