A Colorado toddler diagnosed last year with this rare genetic disorder.

New website focuses on Angelman Syndrome and Tyler Davis, a Colorado toddler diagnosed last year with this rare genetic disorder.

APR, owner of Absolutely Public Relations. Holben, who makes the announcement, says the site has been created "pro bono" by her consultancy to provide an easily accessible forum for sharing Tyler's ongoing story with family, friends and the community, plus spread awareness about the disorder and the needs of Angelman's children and their families.

Angelman Syndrome, according to the Angelman Syndrome Foundation is a genetic disorder caused by abnormal function of the gene UBE3A, located within a small region (q11-q13) on chromosome #15. This region is deleted from the maternally derived chromosome in approximately 80% of individuals with Angelman Syndrome. For the remaining 20%, genetic testing can often identify other abnormalities that disrupt the UBE3A function.

Angelman Syndrome affects males, females and all racial/ethnic groups equally. There are estimated to be between 1000 and 5000 cases in the U.S. and Canada.

Tyler is the son of Clay and Stacey Davis, Henderson, CO. Clay Davis and Maggie Holben's fathers - Clay Davis and Elmer Roth - were business partners for many years in the Denver area. The website is dedicated to Elmer and Clay (senior).
