Summary
FG syndrome, initially considered a rare, completely recessive X-linked disorder occurring only in males and constituting a unique disorder, is now increasingly documented as a common disorder that may also affect carriers with a wide range of manifestations which extensively overlap those of the G/BBB (Opitz) syndrome. Typical manifestations include relative shortness compared to headsize, congenital hypotonia with delayed motor and speech development, gastroesophageal reflux, constipation, mild spastic diplegia with delayed development of sensory integration, attention deficit disorder, self-absorption and fascinations with mechanical toys and objects. Gross malformations may include agenesis of corpus callosum, Chiari I malformation, congenital heart defects, intestinal atresias and limb defects.*Author: Pr J.M. Opitz (August 2003)*.

Summary
FG syndrome, initially considered a rare, completely recessive X-linked disorder occurring only in males and constituting a unique disorder, is now increasingly documented as a common disorder that may also affect carriers with a wide range of manifestations which extensively overlap those of the G/BBB (Opitz) syndrome. Typical manifestations include relative shortness compared to headsize, congenital hypotonia with delayed motor and speech development, gastroesophageal reflux, constipation, mild spastic diplegia with delayed development of sensory integration, attention deficit disorder, self-absorption and fascinations with mechanical toys and objects. Gross malformations may include agenesis of corpus callosum, Chiari I malformation, congenital heart defects, intestinal atresias and limb defects.*Author: Pr J.M. Opitz (August 2003)*.

Summary
FG syndrome, initially considered a rare, completely recessive X-linked disorder occurring only in males and constituting a unique disorder, is now increasingly documented as a common disorder that may also affect carriers with a wide range of manifestations which extensively overlap those of the G/BBB (Opitz) syndrome. Typical manifestations include relative shortness compared to headsize, congenital hypotonia with delayed motor and speech development, gastroesophageal reflux, constipation, mild spastic diplegia with delayed development of sensory integration, attention deficit disorder, self-absorption and fascinations with mechanical toys and objects. Gross malformations may include agenesis of corpus callosum, Chiari I malformation, congenital heart defects, intestinal atresias and limb defects.*Author: Pr J.M. Opitz (August 2003)*.
