Angelman syndrome can be difficult to diagnose. It does have a characteristic phenotype and clinical characteristics are best recognised by clinical specialists. It is a genetically heterogeneous condition. About 65% affected have a deletion in the long arm of chromosome 15. A small minority are due to uniparental disomy. Others may have errors in a specific gene or are due to imprinting centre mutations. About 10% of cases cannot be genetically defined.

Many GP's are just as likely to misspell the syndrome, Julia, as will be hard pressed to understand the contribution from Flaxen Saxon.

I was also obliged to Google the syndrome and from what I now understand, the unfortunate mother is the victim for whom we should reserve the lion's share of pity.

I'd actually heard of it before this.
