Abnormal auditory and language pathways in children with 16p11.2 deletion.

For: All,

This brain‑imaging study shows that children with a proximal 16p11.2 deletion have differences in the brain pathways that process sound and support language—especially on the left side—helping families understand why language difficulties are common and highlighting the value of early, targeted speech‑language therapy and ongoing monitoring focused specifically on listening and language skills.
