Stuttering is a fluency disorder characterized by excessive atypical ruptures in the linguistic formulation, in which a person has difficulty in producing smooth speech. Genetic factors may be involved in the stuttering transmission. In this sense, objective assessments and family history plays a key role in both the initial diagnosis and in controlling disease progression. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to characterize the fluency profile of individuals with familial persistent developmental stuttering and determine the familial and sexual frequency of the disorder in the family. Participants were 100 individuals with familial persistent developmental stuttering of both gender, aged 5-59 years, with the following inclusion criteria: stuttering complaining, onset of stuttering must have occurred during childhood, minimum duration of 36 months typical of stuttering-like disfluencies, present minimum of 3% of stuttering-like disfluencies, minimum score of 11 points (children) or 18 points (teenagers aged 17 and over) in the Stuttering Severity Instrument - SSI-3. The following procedures were used: clinical and familial history, fluency assessment and Stuttering Severity Instrument. Statistical analysis was performed using specific tests to compare the variables in the different age groups, as well as a comparison of their female and male. Our results showed about 13.25% of all disfluencies and 6.92% of stuttering-like disfluencies. The mild severity was the most common (45%). There was a significant difference in the frequency of stuttering in male relatives over female (p = 0.042). We conclude that the fluency profile showed different characteristics when compared to the fluency profile of fluency. However, findings on the speech rate were dispersed and not conclusive with respect fluents. Stuttering individuals showed greater prevalence of stuttering-like disfluencies in respect to other disfluencies. Regarding the stuttering...
