Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- The participant's parent/legal guardian must provide written informed consent.
- Symptoms consistent with AS and documented genetic confirmation of one of the following genotypes resulting in a diagnosis of AS:
- Full maternal UBE3A gene deletion causing AS in the region of 15q11.2-q13
- Uniparental disomy
- Imprinting center defect
- The participant must be 18 to 50 years of age, inclusive (for adult participants), or 4 to 8 years of age, inclusive (for pediatric participants), at Screening.
- The participant must have the ability to ambulate independently.
- The participant must be on stable antiepileptic medications (with no changes within 1 month prior to the Screening visit, except for weight associated dose adjustments).
You may not qualify if:
- Clinically significant medical finding other than AS, that, in the judgment of the Investigator would make the participant unsuitable for participation.
- Laboratory abnormalities including but not limited to:
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \> upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Total and/or fractionated bilirubin (direct and/or indirect) \> ULN
- Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) \> ULN
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) below the lower limit of normal (LLN) for age
- Hemoglobin \< 8 g/dL
- White blood cell (WBC) count outside the normal range for age
- Platelet count \< LLN
- Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) outside the reference range
- PT/International normalized ratio (INR) outside the reference range
- Any known history and/or family history of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)/macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) or multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS).
- Any known history and/or family history of disordered complement function and/or complement gene mutation(s).
- History of systemic lupus erythematous, Still's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and/or other severe autoimmune conditions per judgment of the Investigator.
- Any known history of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA)/microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, or hypercoagulable conditions including, but not limited to, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), deep venous thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism.
