What is the genetic makeup of FG?
FG Syndrome is always present at birth, although it may not be identified at that time. There is no cure for the syndrome because it is part of the child's genetic make-up. A mutation on the X chromosome causes a disruption in the development of the fetus, affecting anatomical structures and also the development of the central nervous system.
A more current medical summary of FG Syndrome written by Dr. John M. Opitz is available online at Orphanet , a French medical database. The information is in English and French.
We also have available the summary of a 1998 article on FG Syndrome online.
