I have exactly the opposite view.<br /><br />Not looking at sub-types but mixing them all together is obscuring research and we need to look at each separately if we want to find fine details.Tom Weidighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084153394215001999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-31095511607834228752010-02-17T13:02:03.684+01:002010-02-17T13:02:03.684+01:00I agree that talking too much about sub-types only...I agree that talking too much about sub-types only obscures research, or at least creates the impression that scientists are not even trying to find the real cause of stuttering. However, I don't think they should narrow down neurological research to only those individuals who have the newly discovered gene mutation since they represent a very small minority of examined stutterers. It would be like researching the development of cancer in only smoking patients. Smoking might contribute to the development of cancer but it is surely not the main cause or the key to understanding the disease.preterossonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-53335570284870985752010-02-16T19:08:20.043+01:002010-02-16T19:08:20.043+01:00See my query to Dave....See my query to Dave....Norbert @ BSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777494290357326626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-33945216677090810372010-02-16T09:12:59.462+01:002010-02-16T09:12:59.462+01:00Which data do you need?Which data do you need?Tom Weidighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084153394215001999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-9962912357651613402010-02-15T22:24:54.421+01:002010-02-15T22:24:54.421+01:00I need the data first.I need the data first.Norbert @ BSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777494290357326626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-76468343742767924172010-02-15T22:17:50.772+01:002010-02-15T22:17:50.772+01:00Well Norbert you have to do something about this t...Well Norbert you have to do something about this then! ;-)Tom Weidighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084153394215001999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-77899171018840416962010-02-15T21:09:03.714+01:002010-02-15T21:09:03.714+01:00Dave

It would be nice to see scan work done on Pakistani stutterers with and without this particular genetic mutation to compare them. In time other genes will be found, and you could compare them and ask if they have the same effects on brain function.Mark B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03524735496130204611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-52693625927416077962010-02-15T20:31:04.520+01:002010-02-15T20:31:04.520+01:00Dave - don't know if you read the Alzheimer...Dave - don't know if you read the Alzheimer's Society complaints the other week about only £63 per sufferer spent on research. If we assumed 750,000 PWS in the UK, would you think it's fair to say that about £2/head is spent on research in the UK on research funding for us?Norbert @ BSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777494290357326626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-74849657357440089292010-02-15T20:12:32.610+01:002010-02-15T20:12:32.610+01:00If only there was the funding!If only there was the funding!Dave Rowleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05075890277885768921noreply@blogger.com
