Human Genetics: The Evolving Story of FOXP2 Page 1 7. Graybiel, AM, and Ragsdale, CW,
Jr. (1978). Histochemically distinct compartments in the striatum of human, monkeys, and …

FOXP2, the first gene to have been implicated in a developmental communication disorder,
offers a unique entry point into neuromolecular mechanisms influencing human speech and …

Abstract Language is a uniquely human trait likely to have been a prerequisite for the
development of human culture. The ability to develop articulate speech relies on …

Disruptions of the human FOXP2 gene cause problems with articulation of complex speech
sounds, accompanied by impairment in many aspects of language ability. The FOXP2/Foxp2 …

Rare mutations of the FOXP2 transcription factor gene cause a monogenic syndrome
characterized by impaired speech development and linguistic deficits. Recent genomic …

FOXP1 (forkhead box protein P1) is a transcription factor involved in the development of
several tissues, including the brain. An emerging phenotype of patients with protein …

The forkhead box P2 gene, designated FOXP2, is the first gene implicated in a speech and
language disorder. Since its discovery, many studies have been carried out in an attempt to …

De novo disruptions of the neural transcription factor FOXP1 are a recently discovered, rare
cause of sporadic intellectual disability (ID). We report three new cases of FOXP1-related …

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

The ability to communicate through spoken language is the trait that best sets humans apart
from other animals, most human origins researchers say. Last year the community was …
