Summary

INTRODUCTION

The first scientific paper reporting children with angelman syndrome was written by Dr Harry Angelman, an English Physician at Warrington General Hospital [1]. Dr Harry Angelman documented his young patient's mental impairment, jerky movements, excessive laughter, and atypical physical development for the first time in 1965. Because of their flat heads, he dubbed them "puppet children.". A missing genetic coding on chromosome 15 Angelman syndrome affects both men and women in India. Angelman syndrome is projected to impact 88,755 persons out of a population of 1,065,070,607 people [9,10]. It includes developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, significant movement and balance difficulties, as well as speech impairment [11,12]. Between the ages of 6 and months, there is a notable delay in development, as well as other early childhood signs and symptoms [13]
