FOXP1 Syndrome is described as a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a mutation or change in the FOXP1 gene on chromosome 3. The condition can affect nervous system development and is associated with delays in early motor and language milestones, variable intellectual disability, speech and language impairment, and behavioral differences. The event brings together participants globally to increase understanding and support research efforts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
