Angelman syndrome causes severe developmental delays, seizures, speech impairment, movement or balance problems, and frequent laughter and smiling. The incidence of Angelman syndrome is estimated to be approximately 1 in 15,000 individuals. Started two years ago after the arrival at UVa of Angelman expert Joseph Wagstaff , M.D., Ph.D., the workshop has provided families with a link to knowledgeable medical professionals and to other parents who share the same challenges of providing loving care, medical support and educational training for their children with the syndrome. For Wagstaff, a pediatrician and medical geneticist with a joint appointment in biochemistry and molecular genetics, Angelman syndrome provides a special research opportunity to learn about an unusual genetic phenomenon called imprinting.

For some genes, only the paternal copy is active; if this copy is missing, Prader-Willi Syndrome results. For other genes, only the maternal copy is active, and loss of this copy causes Angelman Syndrome.

The history of medicine is full of interesting stories about the discovery of illnesses. The saga of Angelman Syndrome is one such story. Dr. Harry Angelman reflects: "It was purely by chance that nearly 30 years ago, three handicapped children were admitted at various times to my children's ward in England. They had a variety of disabilities; and although at first sight they seemed to be suffering from different conditions, I felt that there was a common cause for their illness. The diagnosis was purely a clinical one because in spite of technical investigations, which today are more refined, I was unable to establish scientific proof that the three children all had the same handicap. In view of this, I hesitated to write about them in the medical journals. However, when on holiday in Italy, I happened to see an oil painting in the Castelvecchio museum in Verona called a Boy with a Puppet. The boy's laughing face and the fact that my patients exhibited jerky movements gave me the idea of writing an article about the three children with a title of Puppet Children.

KEY WORDS: Angelman syndrome, diagnosis, genetic evaluation The Scientific and Research Advisory Committee of the Angelman Syndrome Foundation recently solicited input from scientists involved in the study of Angelman syndrome to establish consensus about the clinical profile and diagnostic criteria of Angelman syndrome. Tables I, II, and III are intended to assist in the evaluation and diagnosis of Angelman syndrome especially for those unfamiliar with this clinical disorder. These criteria are applicable for the three major types of AS: molecular deletions involving the critical region (deletion positive), uniparental disomy (UPD), and non-deletion/non-UPD [Chan et al., 1993].

HUMAN GENETICS
for 1st YEAR STUDENTS
MENDELIAN INHERITANCE
SEX LIMITED INHERITANCE
n some X-linked recessive diseases, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, expression of the disease phenotype is limited exclusively to males. In some X-linked dominant traits, such as incontinentia pigmenti or orofaciodigital syndrome (OFD 1), expression is limited to females, males do not survive to term. However, the expression of a disease in only one gender does not necessarily imply that the disease is X-linked. There are autosomal diseases that are limited to expression in only one sex. Precocious puberty and beard growth are factors expressed only in males. The hereditary form of prolapsed uterus is expressed only in females. These are called sex limited traits.
MITOCHONDRIAL INHERITANCE
The DNA of mitochondria contains about ten genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation, as well as a few other genes. This DNA is capable of mutation, so it is not surprising that a few human diseases have been found to be associated with mitochondrial inheritance. Leber optic atrophy is a classic example of a disease of mitochondrial DNA. The ovum, originating in the female, has about 100,000 copies of mitochondrial DNA; the sperm, originating in the male, has fewer than 100 copies, and these are probably lost at fertilization. Virtually all of ones mitochondria come from his, or her, mother. Affected fathers produce no affected offspring, while the offspring of affected mothers are all affected. Figure 3 below shows the typical mitochondrial inheritance pattern.

HUMAN GENETICS
for 1st YEAR STUDENTS
CHROMOSOMAL INHERITANCE
SEX CHROMOSOME ABNORMALITIES
n humans the normal female has two X chromosomes, while the normal male has only one X chromosome. If a gene is on the X chromosome, isn't it logical that there would be twice the gene product in females than there is in males? This was a question that remained unanswered for many years. From biochemical measurements there seemed to be the roughly the same amount of gene product in both males and females. The phenomenon was called "dosage compensation." Somehow the gene knew to compensate for the sex of the individual, either make half as much product if it found itself in a female or make twice as much product if it was in a male. Dosage compensation was explained by the discoveries of Mary Lyon.
LYON HYPOTHESIS
BARR BODIES
The inactive X usually lies along the edge of the interphase nucleus in a highly condensed state. It is always the last to replicate. In 1948, before the discoveries of Lyon, Barr and Bertram found that in the interphase nucleus of female cat neurons there were a significant number of cells that had one "darkly staining body" lying along the edge of the nucleus, but they never found a "darkly staining body" in the neurons of male cats. Similar "darkly staining bodies" are found in buccal epithelial cells of human females, although they can usually be found in only 30% to 40% of the cells. Normal males never express these "Barr bodies." In all cases, the number of Barr bodies is one less than the number of X chromosomes in an individual. One Barr body means the individual has two X chromosomes, two Barr bodies means the individual has three X chromosomes, etc. We now know that the "darkly staining" Barr body is the condensed, inactive X chromosome.

Angelman's syndrome Also known as:
Happy puppet syndrome
Synonyms:
Happy puppet syndrome, puppet children, marionette joyeuse (French) puppetlike syndrome, syndrome du pantin hilare (French).
Associated persons: Harry Angelman Description: A chromosome 15 disorder comprising microcephaly with grave mental and motor retardation, epilepsy, ataxic gait or complete inability to walk, muscle hypotonia, EEG abnormalities, and peculiar facies marked by a protruding jaw and tongue, occipital depression, and blue eyes. The affected children have a happy disposition and laugh frequently for almost any reason and their movements are jerky like those of a marionette, or puppet. Inheritance is autosomal recessive. The most common age of diagnosis is between three and seven years when the characteristic behaviors and features become most evident. Harry Angelman described three cases in 1965 and called them “puppet children” because of their peculiar gait. He noted that all had a stiff, jerky gait, absent speech, excessive laughter and seizures. Other cases were eventually published but the condition was considered to be extremely rare and many physicians doubted its existence. The first reports from North America appeared in the early 1980s and within the last years many new reports have appeared. Two years after Angelman's description, Bower and Jeavons reported two affected children and modified the title to "Happy puppet syndrome". This term came into general use, appearing in the French language literature as marionette joyeuse or syndrome du pantin hilare. In 1982 Williams and Jaime L. Frias suggested that the eponym "Angelman" should replace the descriptive title of the condition, in order to avoid any possible offence to the families of affected persons.

    Update Series no. 1 - March 2000
    Genomic Imprinting and Uniparental Disomy
    Genomic imprinting refers to the process of differential modification and expression of parental alleles. As a result, the same gene may function differently depending on whether it is maternally or paternally derived. This concept is contrary to that of the traditional Mendelian inheritance in which genetic information contributed by either parent is assumed to be equivalent. The best-studied examples of genomic imprinting in human disease are the Prader-Willi and Angelman syndromes. These are clinically distinct disorders; both map to the same chromosome 15q11-q13 region but they involve different genes. As the gene for Angelman syndrome is normally active in brain only on the maternally inherited chromosome, lack of maternal contribution of this gene as a result of microdeletion, mutation, or paternal uniparental disomy for chromosome 15 (see below) will cause Angelman syndrome. Conversely, the candidate gene for Prader-Willi syndrome is normally active only on the paternally inherited chromosome. Lack of paternal contribution of the gene due to either microdeletion or maternal uniparental disomy for chromosome 15 will thus cause Prader-Willi syndrome. Molecular and molecular cytogenetic diagnoses for these disorders are available. The term uniparental disomy (UPD) describes a phenomenon in which both homologues of a chromosome pair are derived from a single parent. This can occur as a result of gamete complementation (fertilization of a gamete disomic for a chromosome with a gamete nullisomic for the same chromosome) or trisomy rescue (in a trisomic conceptus, postzygotic loss of one of the trisomic chromosomes with the remaining two chromosomes contributed by the same parent), among other possible mechanisms. When UPD is for a chromosome that contains genes subject to imprinting effect, an abnormal phenotype can be expected. To date, six of the approximately thirty different types of UPD reported in humans have been shown to cause phenotypic consequences.

    FLUORESCENCE in situ HYBRIDIZATION (FISH)
    GENERAL INFORMATION
    Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a powerful tool for rapid detection of certain chromosome abnormalities which are otherwise undetectable or difficult to characterize by conventional cytogenetic methods. It represents a relatively new type of genetic testing called molecular cytogenetics, combining the ability to identify a specific gene or gene region (molecular) with direct visualization of the cells and/or chromosomes under the microscope (cytogenetics). At Alfigen/The Genetics Institute, FISH is utilized as a valuable adjunct to traditional cytogenetics.
    APPLICATIONS OF FISH
    • Marker chromosomes and other chromosome aberrations that are difficult to interpret by conventional cytogenetic techniques can in many cases be identified by the use of FISH. Chromosomes can be "painted" by FISH probe cocktails. This technique is of particular significance when a complex or subtle chromosome translocation or other rearrangement is present. Telomere probes can be used to detect subtle translocations or deletions involving the ends of chromosomes.

    Overview
    Angelman syndrome (AS) is a clinically distinct disorder from PWS that can also be difficult to diagnose, particularly in the first few years of life. Approximately 70% of cases of AS have a deletion of 15q11-q13 in the maternally contributed chromosome 15. In most cases, this is the same deletion as that identified in PWS. About 3%-5% of cases of AS are due to paternal UPD. An abnormality in the imprinting process has been described in about one-third of the remaining 25% of patients; others in that gro up are hypothesized to have AS on the basis of a single gene mutation whose genetic locus is unknown. This category includes some familial cases that are mapped to 15q11-q13. None of the recurrences of PWS or AS, to date, have involved the typical deletion or UPD, but rather have involved translocations, imprinting mutations, or AS patients with no detectable molecular abnormality. The following are the recommendations of a Joint American College of Medical Genetics/American Society of Human Genetics Test and Technology Transfer Committee working group, which was convened to identify scientifically and clinically valid approaches to the diagnosis of PWS and AS and determination of their genetic basis.
