  1. Are Speech Disorders Inherited?

    Evidence exists linking genetic factors to a variety of speech and language difficulties. Recent studies of molecular genetics and neuroimaging are cross-disciplinary, combining forces between speech-language pathologists, physicians, and scientists.Researchers have already identified over 400 genes linked to hearing loss, and ongoing studies investigate genetic links to stuttering, voice ...

  2. Types of Speech Impediments

    A speech impediment, also known as a speech disorder, is a condition that can affect a person's ability to form sounds and words, making their speech difficult to understand. ... Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS): This condition is present from birth and is often hereditary. A person may be more likely to have it if a biological relative has ...

  3. Childhood apraxia of speech

    Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a rare speech disorder. Children with this disorder have trouble controlling their lips, jaws and tongues when speaking. In CAS, the brain has trouble planning for speech movement. The brain isn't able to properly direct the movements needed for speech. The speech muscles aren't weak, but the muscles don't ...

  4. Genetic architecture of childhood speech disorder: a review

    In 2001, investigation of a large three generational family with severe speech disorder, known as childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), revealed the first causative gene; FOXP2. A long hiatus then ...

  5. The Genetics of Speech and Language Impairments

    Genetic factors have an important role in many such cases. 1, 2 Children with specific language impairment are four times as likely to have a family history of the disorder as are children who do ...

  6. Clinical Characteristics and Genetic Etiology of Children With

    The median time between the speech and language assessment and the first genetic consultation and genetic diagnosis was 10.0 months (IQR 5.0-23.0), and 12.0 months (IQR 6.0-25.0) respectively. Genetic testing was conducted in 119 out of 127 children (93.7%) ( Figure 1 ).

  7. PDF The Role of Genetics in Speech, Language, and Reading Disorders among

    A growing body of evidence suggests an underlying genetic basis for speech sound disorders, the most common speech and language disorder in children. Despite this, researchers have not identi-fied a particular gene which predisposes children to this condition; however, several candidate genes are presently being studied. Dr.

  8. The Genetic and Molecular Basis of Developmental Language Disorder: A

    At this time, further genetic sequencing studies of SLI, or rather DLD, remain elusive, although further progress has been made in the field of severe speech disorder and namely CAS, which typically co-occurs with language impairment. Eising et al. (2019) applied a de novo paradigm to 19 individuals with CAS.

  9. FOXP2-related speech and language disorder

    The inheritance pattern of FOXP2-related speech and language disorder depends on its genetic cause.Mutations within the FOXP2 gene and deletions of genetic material from chromosome 7 that include FOXP2 have an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance, which means one copy of the altered gene or chromosome in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder.

  10. Genetics of speech and language disorders

    Vocal communication mediated by speech and language is a uniquely human trait, and has served an important evolutionary role in the development of our species. Deficits in speech and language functions can be of numerous types, including aphasia, stuttering, articulation disorders, verbal dyspraxia, and specific language impairment; language ...

  11. Are Speech Issues Hereditary? What Kind? Passed Down? Family

    Speech sound disorder is an umbrella term that refers to a single difficulty or a combination of difficulties related to perception, motor skills, or phonology. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests there is an underlying genetic basis for the development of speech sound disorders. Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)

  12. Genetic aetiologies for childhood speech disorder: novel ...

    Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), the prototypic severe childhood speech disorder, is characterized by motor programming and planning deficits. Genetic factors make substantive contributions to ...

  13. The Genetic Bases of Speech Sound Disorders: Evidence From Spoken and

    The purpose of this article is to review recent findings suggesting a genetic susceptibility for speech sound disorders (SSD), the most prevalent communication disorder in early childhood. The importance of genetic studies of SSD and the hypothetical underpinnings of these genetic findings are reviewed, as well as genetic associations of SSD ...

  14. Genetic pathways involved in human speech disorders

    Introduction. Following decades of speculation over genetic contributions to distinctive human communication skills, advances in molecular methods enabled scientists to begin identifying critical genomic factors [1].Much research so far focused on linkage mapping and association screening of developmental speech and language impairments, revealing that while such disorders have a complex ...

  15. New genes linked to severe childhood speech disorder

    An international study led by Melbourne researchers has discovered nine new genes linked to the most severe type of childhood speech disorder, apraxia. The research analysed the genetic make-up of ...

  16. The importance of deep speech phenotyping for neurodevelopmental and

    Spoken language is a uniquely human skill that, when disordered, is often a salient presenting symptom of a neurodevelopmental or genetic disorder (NDD) [].For example, of 302 genetic syndromes described in Shprintzen [], speech was affected at least some of the time in 235 (78%) of them.There has been tremendous growth in research on NDDs since Shprintzen's book was published.

  17. Genetics and Speech Disorders

    There are several specific types of speech and language disorders that appear to be closely tied with genetics. Scientists have begun identifying specific genes that are responsible for the ways we speak and communicate. Probably the most important discovery has been the genes FOXP 2, KIAA0319, CNTNAP 2, ATP 2 C 2, and CMIP.

  18. Genetic Advances in the Study of Speech and Language Disorders

    In this review, we summarize advances in the genetic investigation of stuttering, speech-sound disorder (SSD), specific language impairment (SLI), and developmental verbal dyspraxia (DVD). We discuss how the identification and study of specific genes and pathways, including FOXP2, CNTNAP2, ATP2C2, CMIP, and lysosomal enzymes, may advance our ...

  19. Speech disorders: Types, Symptoms, Causes, and More

    Speech disorders affect the vocal cords, muscles, nerves, and other structures within the throat. Causes may include: vocal cord damage. brain damage. muscle weakness. respiratory weakness ...

  20. Speech disorder

    Speech disorders, impairments, or impediments, are a type of communication disorder in which normal speech is disrupted. [1] This can mean fluency disorders like stuttering, cluttering or lisps.Someone who is unable to speak due to a speech disorder is considered mute. [2] Speech skills are vital to social relationships and learning, and delays or disorders that relate to developing these ...

  21. Genetic and Phenotypic Spectrum of KMT2D Variants in Taiwanese ...

    Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by distinct facial features, intellectual disability, and multiple congenital anomalies. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the genetic and phenotypic spectrum of KS in a Taiwanese patient group of 23 patients. KMT2D variants were found in 22 individuals, with missense (26.1%), nonsense (21.7%), and frameshift (17.4%) variants ...
