Genomewide study makes ‘quantum leap’ in understanding stuttering

(Science) – Analysis of DNA from 23andMe users points to variants in genes linked to brain function and sense of rhythm In The King’s Speech, the 2010 biopic that portrays the United Kingdom’s King George VI’s lifelong struggle with his severe stutter, the king’s father tries to quell his son’s stammering by shouting, “Relax! Relax!” as if it were something he could simply control. Decades of research has shown stuttering is, in fact, an involun…
