Developmental verbal dyspraxia (DVD), also known as childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) and developmental apraxia of speech (DAS), [1] is a condition in which an individual has problems saying sounds, syllables and words. This is not because of muscle weakness or paralysis.
Children may be born with apraxia; its cause is unknown, and symptoms are usually noticed in the early stages of development.

It is theorized that the translocation of the 7q31.2 region of the FOXP2 gene causes a severe language impairment called developmental verbal dyspraxia (DVD) [27] or childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) [35] So far this type of mutation has only been discovered in three families across the world including the original KE family.
