What is FG Syndrome?
FG Syndrome was first described in 1974 by Drs. John M. Opitz and Elizabeth G. Kaveggia as a multiple congenital anomaly/mental retardation syndrome. While FG Syndrome was originally diagnosed as rare, since the mid-1990s, clinical researchers have debated and studied the likelihood that it is more common than first suggested, manifesting in known traits that may or may not actually include intellectual disabilities.
While some of the "known" traits of FG Syndrome have changed and/or researchers do not agree about all aspects of FG Syndrome, there are many common features which are discussed in this site. But it is important to remember that a child can have the syndrome without having all of the characteristic features; in fact, it would be exceedingly rare for any one individual to have every known trait of FG Syndrome.
