A member asked:

Does the doctor need to do to tests to be sure if the diagnosis is angelman syndrome?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Genetic tests help: But tests alone will not confirm the diagnosis in 1 out of 10 children with angelman syndrome. Common signs are very delayed development, speech impairment, and trouble with coordination. A specific and complex checklist is the standard way to establish the diagnosis. Anywhere from 1 to 6 genetic tests are used to confirm the diagnosis and tell us if the condition might happen again in the family.
