The relatively low-budget british film , about king george vi 's attempt to overcome his stutter , took four awards at the ceremony , including best picture .
As a british friend recently noted to me , it is chiefly great britain 's upper classes , who have been plagued by the hazing and corporeal misery imposed by the public school system , who stutter .
Further study of south asians has shown that mutations in two other genes , gnptg and nagpa , are found in individuals who stutter , but not in non-stutterers .
