Hora est! Promotion Karen Bindels-de Heus
On July 3, 2024, pediatrician-EAA Karen Bindels-de Heus successfully defended her thesis “Angelman Syndrome in Children”.
In several studies she investigated the natural course of Angelman Syndrome (AS) in children with specific attention to development, epilepsy, sleep, eating behavior, growth, puberty, bone quality of children and quality of life of parents. She and her team also conducted a study on the effect of behavioral treatment of sleep problems in children. Finally, she described which new tests for neurocognitive functioning and growth are and are not feasible in children with AS. She especially thanked all children with AS and their parents for their trust in the ENCORE Expertise Center and sharing their knowledge and experience!
