I've been reading about stuttering and genetics. It says that in all liklihood stuttering is more apt to be found in a person who has a family history of stuttering. This seems logical, but I have a couple of questions. Who is the most likely carrier of the gene? The material I read stated that boys are more apt to develop stuttering than girls, but a girl is highly prone if it runs in the family. When is the gene recessive, and when is it apt to show? Does it skip generations?
