We report on a mentally retarded boy with epileptic seizures, microcephaly, ataxia, and developmental delay. His clinical features were consistent with Angelman syndrome. Fluorescent in situ hybridization and DNA analysis showed a deletion of chromosome 15 q11-13 and thus confirmed the diagnosis. In addition, the patient had a unilateral, incomplete cleft lip, a feature which has not previously been reported in Angelman syndrome.

Proteomic Profiling of Potential E6AP Substrates via Ubiquitin-based Photo-Crosslinking Assisted Affinity Enrichment.

The ubiquitin (Ub) ligase E6AP, encoded by the UBE3A gene, has been causally associated with human diseases including cervical cancer and Angelman syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder. Yet, our knowledge about disease-relevant substrates of E6AP is still limited, presumably because at least some of these interactions are rather transient, a phenomenon observed for many enzyme-substrate interactions. Here, we introduce a novel approach to trap such potential transient interactions by combining a stable E6AP-Ub conjugate mimicking the active state of this enzyme with photo-crosslinking (PCL) followed by affinity enrichment coupled to mass spectrometry (AE-MS).

Gait disturbance is a common motor symptom in Angelman syndrome (AS), but its characteristics have been poorly studied quantitatively. This study aimed to analyze gait characteristics in school-age children with AS using three-dimensional gait analysis (3DGA). Patients with clinically and genetically confirmed AS and healthy children aged 6-15 years were included.

Article Synopsis
- Current clinical testing for imprinting disorders is complicated and usually involves several tests to get a clear diagnosis.
- We explored the use of whole-genome long-read sequencing (LRS) as a single test to analyze different genetic variations and methylation patterns in individuals with Prader-Willi or Angelman syndrome.
- Our results showed that LRS can accurately diagnose these conditions efficiently and could simplify testing while lowering costs and speeding up results in clinical settings.
