Effective treatment of Angelman syndrome (AS), Rett syndrome (RTT), and Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) requires understanding their natural history through longitudinal assessments. We believe more strongly than in the initial proposal that near-term potential for therapy in these disorders is promising. Thus, understanding their common clinical issues disorders (such as nutrition, seizures, sleep and behavior) and the most effective interventions for them are highly relevant.
