KE family
BRITISH FAMILY WITH MEMBERS WITH A SPEECH DISORDER CAUSED BY MUTATIONS IN FOXP2
KE (or K) family
The KE family is a medical name designated for a British family, about half of whom exhibit a severe speech disorder called developmental verbal dyspraxia. It is the first family with speech disorder to be investigated using genetic analyses, by which the speech impairment is discovered to be due to genetic mutation, and from which the gene FOXP2, often dubbed the "language gene", was discovered.
