1. Obviously, there is no known cause for stuttering, but with certain genetic information, could the severity level be found? Based on genetics, is it possible to solve weather or not a child will recover with or without therapy? With further research, is it possible that there would be any relation to a previous PWS’s (within the family) genes, and the child who stutters genes, based on severity and probability of recovery?
