Almost always NM: The challenges of angelman syndrome are seizures, microcephaly ( small head), characteristic facial features, intellectual disability with severe language impairment, unsteady gait, happy demeanor with frequent laughter, hyperactivity & more. In a few cases there's an alteration on mom's chromosome 15. Usually it's from a genetic accident. See www.Angelman.Org.
