Angelman Syndrome is a complex neuro-developmental and genetic disorder that primarily affects the nervous system. Texas Children's Angelman Clinic is a multidisciplinary program that includes several specialty services: genetics, neurology, physical medicine, and rehabilitation and developmental pediatrics. Angelman Syndrome is less common than other genetic disorders. If you have not heard of the disorder, don't hesitate to say so. You could share your interest in genetics, if any, or any experience with other disorders.

"I had never heard of Angelman syndrome until I saw a pamphlet in your waiting area. It appears to be a very complex disorder. I think having a clinic with a multi-disciplinary team in one place to care for these patients is great. It's stressful enough for parents to have a child affected by what most would consider a minor illness. Something like this is undoubtedly overwhelming, and being able to get all of the necessary care in one place has to help alleviate some of the medical-related stress."

"I briefly heard of Angelman syndrome in school. One of my classmates did a case study on it. I have to admit, I don't have much experience with genetic disorders, but if an opportunity were available to become part of this team and learn, I would be interested in the opportunity to do so."
