Children and adolescents with SGCE-associated myoclonus dystonia showed a progression of motor symptoms during a mean follow-up of 4 years. Patients developed a significant increase in the severity of axial and limb myoclonus, as well as dystonia during writing. Consequently, patients reported a marked decline in their speech, writing, and walking abilities. Up to 74% of patients had a psychiatric diagnosis, most commonly anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Viral nucleic acid recognition induces a physiological type I interferon mediated innate immune response. In some cases of Aicardi-Goutières syndrome, this same response is proposed to be triggered by self-derived nucleic acid generated through reverse transcription. Here, reverse transcriptase inhibitors were assessed in such cases.

Self-injurious behaviour (SIB) is relatively common in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with an estimated prevalence of up to 42%. In those most severely affected there is a risk of life-altering and life-threatening injury to the individual themselves, the impact on caregivers is not well-understood. This study aims to describe the experiences of family caregivers of children with ASD and SIB through the use of qualitative methodology. In-depth semi-structured one-on-one interviews were conducted with 12 family caregivers, transcripts were then analyzed and three main themes were developed. Through our analysis it became clear that SIB is associated with multiple and complex challenges for children and their families. These findings highlight the need to prioritize the development of effective therapies and increased availability of appropriate resources for childern with SIB and their families.
