I just wonder there is something different in using punctuation.

Hello, I just wonder there is some differences between below two sentence.

  1. He has two sons who are doctors.
  2. He has two sons, who are doctors.

I'd like to know in above case, a punctuation could have an influence about meaning.

Thank you.
