The goal of this study is to conduct a prospective, longitudinal assessment of the natural clinical progression of Angelman syndrome (AS) in children and adults. This will be performed by acquiring baseline measurements, and developing effective outcome measures and diagnostic tools for the syndrome, to prepare the healthcare system for forthcoming clinical trials.
This study is being conducted in anticipation of several candidate therapies which are approaching clinical readiness for Angelman syndrome. This study will comprehensively evaluate the natural clinical progression of the disease using scales and questionnaires for the assessment of motor function and global development, motor measuring devices (ActiMyo), and by collecting sleep and seizure diaries. In addition, proteomic analysis and electroencephalography (EEG) recordings will be collected to identify biomarkers which will indicate improvements in disease outcome following treatment.

Inclusion Criteria:
For the candidate participants affected by AS:
In this study, the two primary carers for each participant diagnosed with AS will be also considered participants. Carers will have to meet the following inclusion criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
(*) This includes any confirmed chronic or acute condition or disease affecting any system(s), which could interfere with the results of the study and/or the compliance with the study procedures.

15 mls of blood will be collected during each visit. Blood samples will be centrifuged and plasma stored in the Department of Paediatrics, University of Oxford. Proteomics will be performed on plasma samples. Some blood will be collected for the Angelman Syndrome DNA biobank.

| Global development assessment scale | Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development - 4 (BSID-4) for Developmental delays. Scale is divided into five domains, which are further divided into subdomains. The first step is to calculate the starting point by beginning with the items that are age appropriate. The starting point is validated if three consecutive items are achieved. If the participant affected by Angelman Syndrome does not achieve three consecutive items in a row at the age-appropriated starting point, the evaluator must go backwards to the lower age-starting point until the participant affected by Angelman Syndrome achieves three items in a row. The assessment stops once five items in a row are not achieved. | 2 years 1 month |
| Global development assessment scale | Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scales-III (VABS-III). Scale composed of two main domains, which are subdivided into several subdomains. Lower score indicates worse cognitive functioning. | 2 years 1 month |
| Aberrant behaviour assessment | Aberrant Behaviour Checklist-Community (ABC-C). This scale comprises 58 items and is divided into five subdomains. The ABC-C is designed on a four-point scale with the lowest score representing less-affected patients while the highest score represents the severest patients. | 2 years 1 month |
| Communication assessment | Observed Reported Communication Assessment (ORCA) Tool. Questionnaire designed to be completed by the patients' main carer and records patient communication. | 2 years 1 month |
| Motor function assessment | Functional Mobility Scale (FMS). Scale which rates the walking ability in three different walking distances, and these distances will be rated on a 6-point scale. | 2 years 1 month |
| Sleep and seizure activity | Sleep and seizure diaries with ready-made questionnaires | 2 years 1 month |
| Laboratory biomarkers for Angelman syndrome | Proteomic analysis of plasma samples to determine biomarkers of disease progression | 2 years 1 month |
| Electroencephalogram (EEG) activity recordings | Electroencephalogram (EEG) to record brain activity of Angelman Syndrome patients over a 24-hour period (e.g., sleep architecture, number and frequency of seizures, background epileptic activity, delta-rhythmicity) | 24 hours |
| Quality of Life questionnaires for families of Angelman syndrome patients | PedsQL-Family Module questionnaires. Questionnaire uses ranking system of 1-4 based on frequency. | 2 years 1 month |
| Quality of life assessment for individuals affected by Angelman syndrome | PedsQL-Core Module questionnaires. Questionnaire uses ranking system which depends on the age of patient. | 2 years 1 month |
