10 Angelman Syndrome Symptoms
Symptom #5: Ataxia
Ataxia is a neurological sign where there is lack of voluntary muscle coordination that can result in abnormalities in gait, speech, and eye movements. It is a clinical manifestation which indicates that there is an underlying dysfunction of the nervous system that functions to coordinate movement. It can involve either one or both sides.
