FG 2 SYNDROME AND AUTISM CONNECTION

[Guest guest]

I RECENTLY BECAME AWARE THAT SOME 'AUTISTIC' CHILDREN HAVE BEEN

MISDIAGNOSED. IN REALITY THEY HAVE FG 2 SYNDROME WHICH IS A GENETIC

DEFECT. I WOULD ALSO BE INTERESTED TO FIND OUT WHERE DIAGNOSIS AND

THERAPY FOR THIS DISORDER CAN BE OBTAINED. I HAVE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME

GETTING ANY PRACTICAL HELP FROM THE INTERNET SEARCH ENGINES.

PLEASE E-MAIL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION.

All of these autistic children all of a sudden have a genetic

defect? Mercury kills brain cells and can also cause chromosome

damge!

When a layman has this idea it is understandable, someone has to spell

out the concept that genetic things can't become more common over a

short time while autism has exploded.

When medical school professors and federal funding agencies insist

there is a genetic cause for autism and they are going to find it you

do have to start wondering about their sanity.

FG 2 Syndrome (as well as FG1, FG3 and FG4) is pretty rare. It is more of a

theoretical construct at this time---families with discernable genetic

differences are being studied. Many characteristics that are necessary to make

this diagnosis are not present in the vast majority of autistic children. There

is no clinically offered test for this diagnosis, it is made on the basis of a

geneticist's observation of the child. There are labs looking at this on a

research basis, meaning you may wish to submit DNA samples with no promise of

ever hearing anything back from the lab. These labs are involved at present:

Laboratories offering research testing:

Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Tours

INSERM U316 - Service de Genetique

Tours, France

Claude Moraine, MD

SUNY Upstate Medical University

Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory

Syracuse, NY

A E Shrimpton, PhD; Constance K Stein, PhD

If you wish to pursue this possibility further, your next step would be to get

your child in front of a clinical geneticist. If you e- me (off list) with

which major metropolitan areas are accessable for you, I could help you figure

out how to make that happen.
