The human <gene> encoding a <transcription factor> implicated in <speech> and <language> development through rare pathogenic variants. Related <genes> in other vertebrates provide mechanistic models, but the human <phenotype> is not equivalent to any single animal motor task. A gene-to-phenotype relationship does not by itself isolate one affected <brain> structure.<A forkhead-domain gene is mutated in a severe speech and language disorder by Cecilia S. L.
