Conversely, the phenotype associated with 7q31 deletions is neglected. Here we characterize the phenotype of eight individuals (4 males) with 7q31 deletions (median age 4\u2009years, 3\u2009months, range 1\u201332\u2009years). Deletion size ranged from 6.8 to 15.2\u2009Mb. All had protracted speech and language milestones, and those with larger deletions had little to no speech. All verbal individuals had childhood apraxia of speech (5\/5, 100%). Participants used augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) including key word sign (5\/8, 63%), and low\u2010tech (6\/8, 75%) and high\u2010tech (4\/8, 50%) systems. Oral and written language impairment was universal. The larger the deletion size, the poorer an individual's language skills (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.03,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Daily living, socialization, and motor skills were also impaired. Cognition ranged from average to severely impaired. Childhood feeding impairment (50%), sleep disturbance (38%), structural brain abnormalities (38%), and autism (25%) were noted. All individuals received one or more allied health therapies. Speech and language impairments emphasize the need for early, tailored speech therapy, including literacy and AAC interventions, for individuals with 7q31 deletions.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.a.64190","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,26]],"date-time":"2025-07-26T13:10:38Z","timestamp":1753535438000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Speech and Language Disorders Associated With 7q31 Deletions Implicating\n                    <scp>\n                      <i>FOXP2<\/i>\n                    <\/scp>"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"197","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2822-6522","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lottie D.","family":"Morison","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Speech and Language, Murdoch Children's Research Institute  Parkville Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Department of Audiology and Speech Pathology The University of Melbourne  Parkville Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruth","family":"Braden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Speech and Language, Murdoch Children's Research Institute  Parkville Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Department of Audiology and Speech Pathology The University of Melbourne  Parkville Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7191-8511","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David J.","family":"Amor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Speech and Language, Murdoch Children's Research Institute  Parkville Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Department of Paediatrics The University of Melbourne  Parkville Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Department of Paediatrics, the Royal Children's Hospital  Parkville Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1147-7405","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angela T.","family":"Morgan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Speech and Language, Murdoch Children's Research Institute  Parkville Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Department of Audiology and Speech Pathology The University of Melbourne  Parkville Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Department of Paediatrics, the Royal Children's Hospital  Parkville Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/NDT.S168469"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","unstructured":"American Speech Language and Hearing Association.2007.\u201cChildhood Apraxia of Speech: Technical Report: American Speech Language and Hearing Association.\u201dhttps:\/\/www.asha.org\/policy\/tr2007\u201000278\/."},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","volume-title":"Children's Communication Checklist \u2013 Second Edition","author":"Bishop D.","year":"2003"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/dmcn.14955"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1362361316644729"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17549507.2024.2363935"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","volume-title":"Diagnostic Evaluation of Articulation and Phonology (DEAP)","author":"Dodd B.","year":"2002"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","volume-title":"Motor Speech Disorders","author":"Duffy J.
