Presentation
We present case studies of two older males with FG syndrome and the p.R961W mutation to illustrate how their behavior changes with age. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
They frequently present mental retardation with developmental delay and a distinctive behaviour, with hyperactive personality and excessive talkativeness. FGS is characterized by clinical variability and genetic heterogeneity. [scielo.mec.pt]
Each entry follows a 5 section structure that will cover (1) essential features of the disorder (2) physiological basis of the disorder (3) neuropsychological and other clinical presentation (4) assessment and diagnostic practices (5) evidence-based treatments [books.google.com]
As the imperforate anus is not present in each case and constipation is a non-specific sign, Opitz-Kaveggia/FG can be hard to diagnose and it may therefore have gone unrecognised in the past. [contact.org.uk]

Etiology
Etiology Several loci for the FG syndrome have been mapped to the X chromosome: FGS1 (OKS) to Xq12-q21.31 (MIM.305450), FGS2 (MIM.300321) to Xq28, FGS3 (MIM.300406) to Xp22.3, FGS4 (MIM.300422) to Xp11.4-p11.3, and FGS5 (MIM.300581) to Xq22.3. germline [humpath.com]
We wish to emphasize that lissencephaly is etiologically non-specific and represents only one feature in this malformation syndrome. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Maternal uniparental disomy for chromosome 7 is known to play a role in its etiology. [icd10data.com]

Pathophysiology Genetics Researchers have identified five regions of the X chromosome that are linked to FG syndrome in affected families. In one of these regions, a mutation in a particular gene called MED12 has been found to cause the disorder. [wikidoc.org]
[…] amino acid asparagine, normally located at position 1007 along the MED12 sequence, has been mistakenly replaced by serine. [27] This mutation in MED12 causes incorrect expression and activity of the protein it encodes, resulting in the disorder. [3] [9] Pathophysiology [wikiwand.com]
