FG Syndrome

FG syndrome is a genetic birth disorder in which a male will suffer from a variety of complications affecting the physical and mental development.

Females can be carriers of the disorder, but are not affected by it. People that are born with FG syndrome have low muscle tone, mental retardation, anal deformities, short stature, broad toes, brain anomalies, constipation and a large head. It is also common for a patient to experience seizures and fixed joints. There is no cure for FG syndrome, but individual symptoms can be treated.

Surgery may be needed to fix anal abnormalities if present.
