This was a very interesting article. I enjoyed this because it adds credibility to what has been speculated for so long. This may not be a great question but there was something that popped into my head while reading this article. As mentioned 10% of people that stutter have shown a genetic correlate to stuttering, my question is concerning the rest of the population or the other 90%. Is it assumed that all individuals that stutter have some form of mutation or gene abnormality or are some still credited to an environmental cause?
