Hi, I have a question regarding the different families that are being studied. You mentioned that in the Pakistani family, the "stuttering gene" appears to be on chromosome 12 and in the Cameroon families it appears to be on chromosome 1. How can abnormalities on different chromosomes cause the same thing? And would this be the case everywhere? Is it possible that there is no one specific gene that is affected but rather it is all dependent on the family and the person?
