This study is being done to better understand Angelman syndrome (AS). Participants will include both children and adults with a diagnosis of AS. The study will collect data regarding medical, behavioral, and developmental challenges in individuals with AS over time. Participants will be invited to return for yearly clinical evaluations yearly until the study runs out of funding. We hope clinicians will be able to help individuals with AS better if we understand the different pattern of symptoms that appear in individuals with AS over their lifetimes.

The virus that causes COVID-19 disease infects many people, but only some get sick.

We collect samples of blood, sputum, urine, and stool from patients in the hospital to learn how COVID affects cells and molecules of the immune system.
Hurricanes and other extreme storms often cause damage in North Carolina.

The data will help us assess the full costs of extreme events and what families need in their aftermath.
Our project aims to document how COVID-19 is changing schools and families, and to trace the ways these changes are shaping educational inequality. In collaboration with North Carolina's Guilford County Schools, we are surveying school leaders, teachers, and parents and guardians about the academic, material, and socio-emotional resources that school communities are collectively employing in response to the pandemic. Our analyses will document school school/family collaboration during the COVID-19 crisis; investigate racial and socioeconomic inequalities in access to school services and supports; and evaluate the consequences of school supports and school/family collaboration for learning loses during the pandemic-induced interruption in regular schooling. Ultimately, we hope this project will shed light on strategies that can mitigate the pandemic's potentially disastrous consequences for educational inequality.
