Language features in a mother and daughter of a chromosome 7;13 translocation involving FOXP2.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: The aims of this study were (a) to locate the breakpoints of a balanced translocation (7;13) within a mother (B) and daughter (T); (b) to describe the language and cognitive skills of B and T; and (c) to compare this profile with affected ... Read more...

CMIP and ATP2C2 modulate phonological short-term memory in language impairment.

28 Jul 2009 Specific language impairment (SLI) is a common developmental disorder characterized by difficulties in language acquisition despite otherwise normal development and in the absence of any obvious explanatory factors. We performed a high-density ... Read more...

[Language development impairment and trisomy 8 mosaicism]

29 Jun 2009 Constitutional trisomy 8 mosaicism (46,XX/47,XX,+8 or 46,XY/47,XY,+8) is characterized by trisomic distribution of chromosomes in some but not all cells of the body. The full condition presents with physical stigmata, skeletal abnormalities and a ... Read more...
