$99,000 2 years Angelman syndrome (AS) is caused by loss of maternal UBE3A expression. In neurons, paternal UBE3A is silenced by the UBE3A-ATS transcript, resulting in a total loss of UBE3A in AS neurons. Promising preclinical data by the Beaudet […]

A potentially valuable approach to understand UBE3A function is the characterization of non-truncating missense variants that change one or a few amino acids in the protein. There are hundreds of UBE3A variants, and their functional significance is virtually unknown. The […]

$200,000 (2 years) Angelman syndrome (AS) is typically caused by genomic deletions that encompass the maternal copy of UBE3A. In some patients with AS, the UBE3A protein is present but with a single amino acid change known as a missense […]
