This is an interesting subject to me because I worked with someone who stammered. (In fact he looked like a grown version of the child in the photo...hmm.)
It's a bad card to be dealt. I've been curious about the cause.
That's great that they've identified some genes related to the condition. I wonder how much practical difference it'll make and how treatable it is with speech therapy and such. I don't know how early stammering tends to be apparent. Don't know much about it at all in fact. I'll have to read up.
If it has a genetic cause or component I wonder why some (most?) outgrow it and some don't.
