Angelman syndrome (AS) is known as an intellectual disability related to speech impairment, ataxia and behavioral uniqueness, including a combination of frequent laughter and smiling, apparent happy demeanor, excitable personality and hypermotor behavior. In this report, we present a 5-year-old girl with AS associated with atypical clinical manifestations, including developmental dysplasia of the hip and simian line in the right hand, and her elder sister with AS. Even if any gene mutation cannot be demonstrated, it should be kept in mind that different mutations may exist in the cases that are the suggestive of clinical AS. Therefore, AS patients can be exposed to special education, and their quality of life can be elevated.
安吉尔曼综合征(AS)是一种与言语障碍、共济失调和行为独特性相关的智力残疾,其行为独特性包括频繁大笑和微笑、明显的愉快神情、易激动的性格和多动行为。在本报告中,我们介绍了一名患有AS且伴有非典型临床表现(包括髋关节发育不良和右手猿线)的5岁女孩及其患有AS的姐姐。即使未发现任何基因突变,对于提示临床AS的病例也应牢记可能存在不同的突变。因此,AS患者可接受特殊教育,其生活质量也可得到提高。
