I have a brother who has FG Syndrome, am I a carrier?
If you are a woman who has a son or brother with FG Syndrome, you may be a carrier.
If you are a woman with a maternal cousin, maternal aunt, maternal grandmother or a maternal sister that is the mother of a boy with FG Syndrome, you might also be a carrier.
If you are the daughter of a man with FG Syndrome, you ARE DEFINITELY a carrier.
It is important to know your carrier status. If you are a carrier, statistically 50% of your daughters will be carriers and 50% of your boys will have the syndrome. Some information suggests that the FG Syndrome may actually be passed along at an even greater frequency than this.
