Deciphering the genetic basis of speech and language disorders
Article Abstract:
A unique three-generation family, showing monogenic inheritance of speech and language deficits is argued to lead to the isolation of the first such gene on chromosome 7, which encodes a transcription factor known as FOXP2. Investigations regarding the molecular genetic approach that has potential for dissecting neurological pathways underlying speech and language disorders is only just beginning.
