The diseases that would always be there would be Down Syndrome, Huntington’s Disease, Hemophobia, and many more. As you can see, this paper is going to be able a genetic disease that is…

Angelman Syndrome (AS) is a genetic disorder of the ubiquitin-protein ligase E3A or UBE3A on the 15th chromosome. If this is gene damaged or lacks the maternal allele for UBE3A contributions, it results in Angelman Syndrome (Mary 2011). This disorder was first discovered in 1965 by an English pediatrician known as Dr. Henry Angelman. Angelman studied children with similar motor disorders, facial abnormalities and a happy demeanor.
