    Abstract

    The relationship between the gender of stuttering probands and the incidence of stuttering among their relatives was investigated by obtaining detailed pedigrees from 106 adult stutterers. We found, as Ambrose, Yairi, and Cox (1993) did in a study of preschool probands, that no evidence existed for the contention that relatives of female probands are more likely to stutter than those of male probands.
