Muarry,
As you noted, stuttering does tend to run in families, and does so in ways that suggest genetic transmission. However, environmental factors clearly play a role also. It's just hard to nail down what these factors are and to separate their influence from the genetic factors.
Just as with most questions about stuttering, the issue is complicated & the answer isn't straightforward.
Hope this little bit helps.
Dale
