FOXP2 is also required for the proper development of speech and language in humans. [7] In humans, mutations in FOXP2 cause the severe speech and language disorder developmental verbal dyspraxia. [7] [8] Studies of the gene in mice and songbirds indicate that it is necessary for vocal imitation and the related motor learning.
ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 – two-letter country codes which are also used to create the ISO 3166-2 country subdivision codes and the Internet country code top-level domains. ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 – three-letter country codes which may allow a better visual association between the codes and the country names than the 3166-1 alpha-2 codes.
