  • Resting EEG

    • EEG power

Increased delta power correlated to increased clinical severity and earlier onset epilepsy

Abbreviations: AS, Angelman syndrome; EEG, electroencephalography; HC, healthy control; NREM, non–rapid eye movement.

a

Across all studies, there was increased delta power, and relative delta power tended to correlate to increased phenotypic severity.

b

Age-matched.
