[quote=Anonymous]You definitely need to see a geneticist for a micoarray which will show if he has the deletion on chromosome 15 that causes Angleman. There is A LOT of research in hopes of finding a cure/ treatments for AS. In fact there is a study going on right now of 28 children with AS using a common antibiotic to relieve some symptoms. I have a daughter with Rett Syndrome, similar to Angelman (but only affects girls and is caused by a single gene mutation). The RS and AS communities are very close. RS was featured on NPR yesterday because of a research study that effectively cured RS in mice using a bone marrow transplant. I wouldn't trade my daughter for the world, but know that even if your Son does have AS, there is real hope for treatments someday in his lifetime.[/quote]
