A forkhead-domain gene is mutated in a severe speech and language disorder
@article{Lai2001AFG, title={A forkhead-domain gene is mutated in a severe speech and language disorder}, author={C. Lai and S. Fisher and J. Hurst and F. Vargha-Khadem and A. Monaco}, journal={Nature}, year={2001}, volume={413}, pages={519-523} }
Individuals affected with developmental disorders of speech and language have substantial difficulty acquiring expressive and/or receptive language in the absence of any profound sensory or neurological impairment and despite adequate intelligence and opportunity. [...] Key Result Here we show that the gene FOXP2, which encodes a putative transcription factor containing a polyglutamine tract and a forkhead DNA-binding domain, is directly disrupted by the translocation breakpoint in CS.Expand Abstract
