Twenty-five who stutter 25 typically fluent peers with same demographic properties (ages 7 12 years) included study. two groups determined terms nanogram per milliliter (ng/mL) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. difference means was analyzed.The medians stutterer control 20 ng/mL (range =12-184 ng/mL) 5 =2-30 ng/mL), respectively. Testosterone group significantly higher than (P=0.001). Besides, there significant correlation severity (P=0.0001).The findings study show that may have an clinical differences sexes. However, further investigations are needed play role etiology stuttering.
