Ankyloglossia is frequently seen in affected patients and carrier females, and has proved to be a useful indicator of CPX . Temporal and spatial studies using in situ hybridization in both human and mouse has shown that TBX22 / Tbx22 is expressed primarily in the palatal shelves and tongue during palatogenesis, indicating a specific role of TBX22 in both palatal and tongue development.
