Mental Retardation With Language Impairment and With or Without Autistic Features

FOXP1, also known as Forkhead-box Protein P1, is a transcription factor protein belonging to the FOX gene family. Disruptions in the FOXP1 gene cause a phenotype characterized by global developmental delay, speech deficits, mild dysmorphic features, and traits of autism spectrum disorder. This study seeks to characterize FOXP1-related neurodevelopmental disorders using a number of genetic, medical and neuropsychological measures.
