title: Angelman syndrome: a review of clinical and genetic aspects.
abstract: This paper reviews Angelman syndrome (AS) with regard to the clinical features in childhood and adulthood, epileptic seizures and EEG findings, neuroimaging studies and the present knowledge on the genetic mechanisms underlying this syndrome.
