Developmental Skills of Individuals with Angelman Syndrome Assessed Using the Bayley-III

Abstract

We describe the development of 236 children with Angelman syndrome (AS) using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition. Multilevel linear mixed modeling approaches were used to explore differences between molecular subtypes and over time. Individuals with AS continue to make slow gains in development through at least age 12 years of age at about 1-2 months/year based on age equivalent score and 1-16 growth score points/year depending on molecular subtype and domain. Children with a deletion have lower scores at baseline and slower rate of gaining skills while children with UBE3A variant subtype demonstrated higher scores as well as greater rates of skill attainment in all domains. The developmental profiles of UPD and ImpD were similar.
