A newly identified subtype of hereditary axonal motor neuropathy, characterized by early proximal limb involvement, has been discovered in a cohort of 34 individuals with biallelic variants in von Willebrand factor A domain-containing 1 (). This study further delineates the disease characteristics in a cohort of 20 individuals diagnosed through genome or exome sequencing, incorporating neurophysiological, laboratory and imaging data, along with data from previously reported cases across three different studies. Newly reported clinical features include hypermobility/hyperlaxity, axial weakness, dysmorphic signs, asymmetric presentation, dystonic features and, notably, upper motor neuron signs.

Article Synopsis
  • The ongoing mental health crisis among youth has increased the need for intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), making the understanding and implementation of best practices, like measurement-based care (MBC), crucial for improving treatment outcomes.
  • This paper illustrates how MBC was integrated into a remote IOP at Charlie Health, aimed at helping high-acuity teenagers and young adults with mental health disorders.
  • Two pilot studies showed successful outcomes, with high survey completion rates and improved treatment completion rates for clients involved in the MBC pilot, indicating a positive shift in clinician feedback and treatment success.
