I do not understand your statement "genetics are not the complete answer to why stuttering would emerge in a family." It is true that stuttering in one specific individual of a stuttering family (meaning stuttering is present in many individuals of different generations) is not completely determined by genes, but also by random or shared environmental factors. But the reason why a stuttering family has become a stuttering family surely has to be only on genetics? Somewhere down the line of generations there was a mutation?
