There is a rapid progression in particular in genetic therapies in this disorder supported by the Angelman community. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent papers shed light on the timing of therapies and novel genetic therapies coming to trial as well as potential therapies still in preclinical phases. Further understanding of UBE3A and its role in neuronal development and plasticity as well as other mechanisms contributing to the Angelman phenotype is offering an opportunity for novel therapeutics. SUMMARY: Greater understanding of the pathophysiology of the different phenotypes will offer an opportunity for novel therapeutics and may well change the course of this disorder over time where previously there has been minimal ability to intervene.L6339320162021-01-20 | DOI: | 10.1097/YCO.0000000000000674 | Resources: | https://www.embase.com/search/results?subaction=viewrecord&id=L633932016&from=exporthttp://dx.doi.org/10.1097/YCO.0000000000000674 | | Keywords: | happy puppet syndrome;genetics;gene therapy;ubiquitin protein ligase;human;NCT04304482;NCT03882918;UBE3A protein, human;phenotype;NCT03614663NCT03802799 | Type: | Article |
