Eventhough genetic variables play a significant part in the genesis of autistic disorder (AD),
no specific genes have been linked to the condition. The 7q31 locus has been linked to ASD …

The FOXP2 gene, located on human 7q31 (at the SPCH1 locus), encodes a transcription
factor containing a polyglutamine tract and a forkhead domain. FOXP2 is mutated in a …

Although it is well established that genetic factors play an important role in the etiology of
autistic disorder (AD), no specific genes have as yet been implicated. Genetic …

Several genomewide screens indicated that chromosome 7q was linked to autistic disorder.
FOXP2, located on 7q31, is a putative transcription factor containing a polyglutamine tract …

FOXP2 is a transcription factor containing a polyglutamine tract, a zinc-finger motif, and a
forkhead DNA-binding domain. The FOXP2 gene is located on 7q31. A missense mutation …

In 2001, scientists characterized the first gene to be implicated in the cause of a speech and
language disorder (FOXP2). Although FOXP2 was discovered using a unique family in …

Heterozygous mutations in FOXP2, which encodes a forkhead transcription factor, have
been shown to cause developmental verbal dyspraxia and language impairment. FOXP2 …

We analyzed the FOXP2 gene, which encodes a putative transcription factor containing a
polyglutamine tract and a forkhead DNA-binding domain, for a possible causative mutation …

Foxp subfamily genes were recently recognized to be members of the Fox gene family. Foxp
subfamily members contain a zinc finger domain and a leucine zipper motif in addition to a …

Background Comparative gene expression profiling analysis is useful in discovering
differentially expressed genes associated with various diseases, including mental disorders …
