Is there a cure for FG?
FG Syndrome is not a "curable" condition. It is caused by a change on the X chromosome before the child is ever born. Mapping studies seeking to pinpoint the FG Syndrome gene will enable families to make informed choices about childbearing, but it will not be possible to "cure" children who have the syndrome.
This said, children with developmental disabilities can learn and grow. Early Intervention is essential to helping children reach their maximum potential. A study was conducted at the University of Utah to gain more information about how boys with FG Syndrome learn so that their educational programs can be better suited to their needs. Also, problems such as feeding issues, constipation, and behavior issues can be addressed and improved through, exercise, education and diet.
