The Genetic Causes of Toe Walking in Children

This article describes how, methodologically, the genes which can be linked to idiopathic toe walking have been identified. Additionally, the article gives an overview of the relevant genes which have been identified and classifies them according to the Types of Toe Walking scheme by Pomarino. It explains, why this new research gives reason to the claim that idiopathic toe walking does not in fact exist.
