Angelman Syndrome (AS) is a rare disorder with devastating effects including global development delay, issues with movement and balance, lack of speech, seizures, severe cognitive impairment, feeding and sleep difficulties. People living with AS require a lifetime of assistance and care, intensive therapiest and close medical supervision. Although the cause is known, there are currently no treatments available for this disorder. FAST is committed to funding research that will lead to treatments and, ultimately, a cure.
