These are 5 out of a family with 17 children that are affected by this disorder.
Scientists have determined the cause for this disorder is from Consanguinity ( shared blood).
The majority of all the cases have been in Turkey ( not the food) with large families of low class. They were all of families with shared blood.
Tan believed that the walking on the hands was because of reverse evolution but they later discovered it was mostly just because of coping.
It was shown that in most of the cases the person could stand upright but when asked to move they would fall over.
The scientist Uner Tan first discovered this genetic disorder in Turkey in 2005.
He said that the disorder was due to reverse evolution.
