Basically if FOXP2 is mutated and functionally impaired, then it’s reasonable to assume all the cells that express FOXP2 will be affected. FOXP2 is expressed in the whole striatum (and other parts of the brain too) not just regions involved in speech. See: https://academic.oup.com/brain/article/126/11/2455/403806
