Incidence of savantism?[edit]

The article twice mentions mental retardation as a symptom, but despite (and apparently contrary to) the article's mention of Kim Peek, nowhere does it mention either a) the possibility of savantism, rather than uniform retardation, accompanying FG syndrome or b) the possibility of high rather than low intelligence (i.e., the upside of savantism without the downside and without any mental retardation) occurring as a symptom.

Can someone look into this? Important aspects of this phenomenon would include a) the percentage incidence of savant syndrome among the FG+ population, especially as compared against its incidence among autism-spectrum members generally and among particular subgroups of the autism-spectrum population, and b) comparison of the IQ "bell curve" within the FG+ population as opposed to within both the aforementioned groups and the general population.

Other Names box[edit]

The page has an 'Other names box' listing "Opitz–Kaveggia syndrome" but the article doesn't specify or describe where this other name came from. It is also not linked so a reader cannot travel to a source page to read about the other name for this syndrome. Can someone look into "Opitz–Kaveggia syndrome" and how it is related to FG syndrome? Also providing a link or source for this would be beneficial. Snicks2 (talk) 22:47, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
