Summary

This study will use eye tracking to measure how children with Angelman syndrome look at social and non-social images. Researchers hope to identify abnormalities in social perception that could serve as a biomarker for future treatment trials. The study includes 40 children with Angelman syndrome and 20 healthy controls, all aged 3 to 17.

What this could lead to

If successful, eye tracking could become a reliable biomarker to measure social improvements in future Angelman syndrome clinical trials.

What could go wrong
