Understanding Angelman Syndrome: Life Expectancy and Impacts
Life Expectancy
Normal or Slightly Decreased
Individuals with Angelman syndrome typically have a life expectancy close to that of the general population. Most people with the condition live into their adult years without experiencing significant developmental regression or behavioral difficulties.
Social Impact
Affectionate Nature
The affectionate and friendly nature that is characteristic of Angelman syndrome may persist into adulthood. While it can bring joy, it can also pose social challenges in certain situations. However, these challenges can be overcome with support and understanding.
Absence of Life-threatening Complications
No Life-threatening Cause of Death
Angelman syndrome itself does not typically cause death. People with the condition may have other health challenges that require medical attention, but these are not generally life-threatening.
