Question about genetics and percentage Does anyone know of any research that has been done on how often children are born with a stutter due to a genetic predisposition? I remember reading something about there is a 25% chance a boy will have a stutter when he has a parent who stutters and like 20% chance a girl starts stuttering when one of the parents stutter.
