Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston announced the opening of its new Angelman Syndrome Clinic — one of only two in the country, according to the release.
The clinic was established through a partnership between MGH, its MassGeneral Hospital for Children in Boston and the Angelman Syndrome Foundation.
The facility will provide access to multiple subspecialists and various medical resources for patients with Angelman syndrome, a congenital disorder appearing in newborns and lasting through adulthood that is often associated with autism and causes severe neurological impairment.
The clinic aims to reduce the frequency and severity of Angelman syndrome symptoms, especially seizures, and to develop dietary plans that help reduce symptoms further.
