This cause is very close to Joanna's heart; because her five year old grandson (Manasseh) has this condition, he was diagnosed with AS when he was three years old. Despite his condition Manasseh is always happy and always smiling; frequent smiling is a trait of this condition it is one the most common characteristic in children with Angelman Syndrome, they have the most infectious laughter and happy excitable demeanour
About Angelman Syndrome
Angelman Syndrome is a neuro-genetic disorder that manifests itself in the form of severe developmental and intellectual delay and is caused by the deletion or inactivation of genes on the chromosome 15 which is maternally inherited. This rare condition affects approximately 1 in 25,000 people and is usually diagnosed between the ages of 18 months and 6 years.
Irish actor Colin Farrell's son has this condition and he is a passionate campaigner and supporter for finding a cure and raising awareness about Angelman Syndrome.
