Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your question, my comment is as follows:
1. Angelman syndrome is a disorder characterized by developmental disabilities and neurological abnormalities. It does not cause low lymphocyte count.
2. At this age, congenital immunodeficiency needs to be ruled out.
3. Repeat lymphocytes count after 15 days and if still low, workup for immunodeficiency disorder might be necessary.
Any further queries, happy to help again
