Talk:Angelman syndrome

message: There's a contradiction between the statement about imprinting (an AS father can have a Prader-Willi daughter, which I agree is possible in theory according to what's known about the genetics of each syndrome) and the statement that no one with AS has ever been known to have a child.
Is the statement about the person with AS fathering a daughter with PW theoretical only, or has it ever been shown to occur?  -Ikkyu2 03:52, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Imprinting 

message: Added some links to the Angelman page, however, some editors are saying that they think the links shouldn't be there. Some of the links added are to various countries websites containing further information on AS. In my opinion these links should be there, because they support the document in providing more information, as do the forum links.

message: I removed "Although often considered part of the autistic spectrum" from the article. Angelman syndrome is not at all considered part of the autistic spectrum. I've studied both and met and worked with people with Angelman Syndrome and people from all over the autistic spectrum, and there's no mistaking one for the other.  70.139.127.53 00:37, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi,
I would like to add a link under "Classification and external resources" to the AS page in MalaCards, which integrates lots of useful information. How can I do it ?

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In 2015, an editor added qualifying language to the Epidemiology section concerning a study from Denmark (but not the Dutch study), claiming that the language was from the article. There were several problems with the edit. First, it claimed that the study said that its subjects were "Anglo-Saxon." As far as I know the Danes have never been referred to as "Anglo-Saxons," and the well-referenced Wikipedia article Anglo-Saxons contains no such 'fact." Second, only an abstract of the reference article is available outside of a pay-wall, and the editor made several other edits to the article at the same time, with only 2 mentioning a putative reading of the full study. Third, the same editor was banned for 24 hours in 2016, for offenses including making false statements—which I think these are. I've reverted the edits. Tapered (talk) 03:40, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

message: The infobox gives the pronunciation as /ˈeɪndʒəlmən/ – that is, like "angel"-man, as the name is spelled. However, Oxford Dictionaries online  gives the pronunciation as /ˈaNGɡəlmən/, as though it were spelled "angle"-man. Is there any way to confirm how Harry Angelman pronounced his name?

message: Hi all, 
I think it would be appropriate to add a section on caregiver support. For many newly diagnosed families, this may be the first page they read on this syndrome. It would be good to include support groups and research orgs. 
Should this be it's own heading or a sub-heading in society and culture? For now, I may add it as a sub heading on society and culture. Please let me know if there are objections.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smitha96 (talk • contribs) 01:24, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I reverted it before noticing this message, per the medical Manual of Style. Hopefully newly diagnosed families get information from hospital leaflets before they come here. Graham87 15:21, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

message: The article inconsistently switches between "AS" and "Angelman syndrome." The abbreviation is nice to avoid long cumbersome sentences, but it feels awkward when it is used less than half the time when referring to the syndrome.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kleinhern (talk • contribs) 15:56, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
