Ari, I am not sure whether I am understanding your question. Findings regarding inheritance patterns and stuttering typically report somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-50% (the percentage reported varies pretty widely from study to study) of individuals who stutter have a family history of stuttering, suggesting that there is an increased likelihood of stuttering occurring among the children of someone who stutters. This does not mean that any particular child will or will not stutter, just that there is a higher chance of stuttering developing. Please clarify your question, if I have misunderstood you. Regards, Lynne
