Similarly, some loci have been implicated in SLI; variants in genes, such as CNTNAP2 (7q36, Vernes et al.2008) and CMIP and ATP2C2 (16q23-24, Newbury et al.2009) show associations with quantitative traits in children with typical SLI, while rare mutations of FOXP2 (7q31, Fisher & Scharff 2009) cause a monogenic speech and language disorder. This evidence concerns the gene FOXP2 and language disorder.
