Speech and Language Disorders Associated With 7q31 Deletions Implicating FOXP2.

Abstract excerpt

Some 7q31 deletions encompass FOXP2, a gene long associated with speech and language disorders. Intragenic pathogenic FOXP2 variants cause FOXP2-related speech and language disorder, which has been well characterized in the literature. Conversely, the phenotype associated with 7q31 deletions is neglected. Here we characterize the phenotype of eight individuals (4 males) with 7q31 deletions (median age 4 years,...
