  • Angelman syndrome (AS) is a rare genetic disorder impacting neurodevelopment, with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 20,000, but lacks comprehensive data on life expectancy and death rates due to a lack of diagnostic codes until 2018.
  • A social media initiative by AS caregivers gathered data on 220 deaths, revealing respiratory illness as the leading cause, followed by accidents and seizures, with sudden unexpected death in sleep (SUDS) also being a notable concern.
  • The study found that 91% of individuals with AS have epilepsy, suggesting that some SUDS cases could relate to sudden unexpected deaths in epilepsy (SUDEP), and highlights the need for more research despite limitations
