Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mutations in the FOXP2 gene on chromosome 7 have been linked to deficits in using and understanding language, as well as reduced gray matter volume in Broca's area, which is involved in language processing. Atoh1 and Atoh2 are genes involved in neuronal development, but they have not been linked specifically to language deficits. Ftoh1 is not a known gene.
