Now it has been cloned, and shown to encode a known transcription factor, FOXP2, a member of a large family of 'winged helix' proteins. The mutation is predicted to inactivate the FOXP2 protein ...

Four years ago, a finding that defects in a single gene could severely impair language set off a race to learn what the gene, FOXP2, could reveal about language's neural basis. 1 After the gene was ...

Called FOXP2, this transcription factor might help researchers understand the neurodevelopmental ... University of Oxford, mapped the gene to a locus on chromosome 7 a ...
