The etiology of the disorder is unknown. Although several families with a high prevalence of the disease have been reported, 1 many other cases appear to be sporadic.[jamanetwork.com]
WDS is startlingly absent from epidemiological studies of the cerebral palsies and rarely diagnosed, presumably because of lack of clinical awareness of the condition and lack of major gross motor impairments.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
