Why do we stutter? Stress, fear, shock - all that matters. However, the main cause of stuttering are our ancestors! Scientists have found that a stutterer born - it's in the genes. The revolutionary discovery could lead to new drugs.
Approximately one percent of the world's population (nearly 70 million people) suffer from Stuttering or life, or in any of its segment. Previously always thought that stuttering is caused by a severe nervous shock. But now researchers have discovered three genes that are directly related to stuttering. This means that science can create an effective cure for stuttering, has the ability to disable the action of these genes and thus eliminate the root cause speech pathology .
Experts from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) in the United States conducted a study on volunteers from Pakistan, in which was found a genetic component Stuttering . "For hundreds of years the cause of stuttering for doctors remained a mystery - the director of NIDCD Dr. James Battey. - We have conducted the first study, by which detect specific genetic mutation that may be the cause of stuttering. It is the most fundamentally able to expand the arsenal of modern therapy of speech disorders ".
Severe zaikainie can significantly reduce quality of life, prevent him from making a career in many areas or build a personal life. Many children stutter age passes, but much of stutterers can not get rid of this disorder all my life.
Currently medicine cures stuttering using relaxation techniques, system control of respiration frequency and speech as well as via electronic Divays that help improve fluency. But scientists have for the first time decided to check out the "family" the origin of this disorder, and were convinced that they were right in their judgment. Mutation-specific gene was found only in organisms stammerers. People who do not have problems with speech, such gene mutations It was not.
