Haploinsufficiency of
FOXP2
causes
FOXP2‐
related speech and language disorder. We report a 9.8 Mb deletion downstream of
FOXP2
in a girl with speech and language impairment, developmental delay, and other features. We propose involvement of
FOXP2
in pathogenesis of these phenotypes, likely due to positional effects on the gene.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
