Harry Angelman (13 August 1915 – 8 August 1996) was a British consultant paediatrician who identified Angelman syndrome.

Biography

Angelman was born in Birkenhead in 1915 and qualified in Liverpool. Angelman was an enthusiast for the language and country of Italy. He had observed three children who were unrelated but showed similar symptoms (severe intellectual disablement, lack of speech, motor disorders, and happy demeanours). He was in two minds as to whether he should publish his findings but he described seeing a painting which seemed to characterise the symptoms he had observed. The painting showed a boy with a puppet and was by the renaissance artist Giovanni Francesco Caroto.[1]

His 1965 paper described what he called "puppet children", from the painting.[1] His paper was not immediately recognised as important but later similar children led to the idea being renamed Angelman syndrome.[1] An American Angelman Syndrome Support Group was started in Waterlooville, Hampshire, in 1986.[2]

Angelman travelled to talk about his discovery and his work was mentioned as important by U.S. President Bill Clinton. Angelman died due to a colon tumour.[3]
