Angie signing

It took Angie forever to imitate signs, i felt she would never get it! Finally, when she was 8 years old she signed *please*. Since then she has picked up a few more signs.

Actually, most cases of AS are not hereditary. What test did you have done to diagnose your child? The FISH test is the most frequent, the detects Del +, and the reocurrance rate with that is less than 1%. It's important to know what test was done. Let me know if you have any other questions

hello,

Yes, Angelman Syndrome is genetic, with any disability if a deletion or mutation is found in the gene's, it is usually considered genetic. In the case of my children it is hereditay, which means it can be inherited from a parent, like eye color can be inherited. I am a carrier of AS, which is how my children have it. To have Angelman Syndrome hereditary is very rare.

Hope this helps, thanks for the questions.

We are recently getting the results the lab, they say it's positive to AS. I though that being a genetic disorder was considered hereditary. So, beside hereditary cases, what other cases are found?
