FG syndrome is an X-linked incomplete recessive condition comprising mental retardation, congenital hypotonia, macrocephaly, a distinctive facial appearance, and constipation or anal malformations. Here, we report on a chromosome X inversion [inv(X)(q12q28)] in a boy with FG syndrome and in his mentally retarded maternal uncle, and we discuss the possible involvement of this paracentric inversion in the FG syndrome.

D008607 Intellectual Disability Subnormal intellectual functioning which originates during the developmental period. This has multiple potential etiologies, including genetic defects and perinatal insults.
