The Siegel-Shidlovskii Theorem states that the transcendence degree of the field generated over Q(z) by E-functions solutions of a differential system of order 1 is the same as the transcendence degree of the field generated over Q by the evaluation of these E-functions at non-zero algebraic points (expect possibly at a finite number of them). The analogue of this theorem is false for G-functions and we present conditional and unconditional results showing that any intermediate numerical transcendence degree can be obtained.
