    Abstract Background: Racial discrimination and cannabis use among Black emerging adults in America is a growing public health concern. However, research examining the relationship between exposure to perceived racism-based police use-of-force and cannabis use for this population is scant. This study examined the frequency of exposure (direct and indirect) to racism-based police use-of-force and its relationship with past 30-day cannabis use for a sample of Black emerging adult men and women 18-29 years of age.
    Methods: Black emerging adults (N = 300; 49% males, 51% females) in St. Louis, Missouri completed computer assisted surveys on frequency of exposure to perceived racism-based police use-of-force and cannabis use. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between frequency of exposure to perceived racism-based police use-of-force and cannabis use, controlling for covariates (sociodemographic, police contacts, and community violence).
    Results: Our findings revealed that females reported significantly higher rates of indirect exposure to perceived racism-based police use-of-force than males. Relative to Black females, indirect exposure to perceived racism-based police use-of-force increased the odds of cannabis use among Black males.
    Conclusions: Study findings advance our understanding of the prevalence of exposure to perceived racism-based police use-of-force and its influence on cannabis use for Black emerging adults, specifically males. Results highlight the need for future research, behavioral health interventions, and policy targeting the interplay between indirect exposure to perceived racism-based police use-of-force and cannabis use.

    Abstract A 5-year-old girl presented with treatment-refractory dry eye and recurrent episodes of eye pain. She had been previously diagnosed with syndromic congenital sodium diarrhea (SCSD) caused by a pathogenic variant in SPINT2. Her local pediatric ophthalmologist had made the diagnosis of severe dry eye with corneal erosions, based on which, we arranged an eye exam under anesthesia (EUA) and punctal plug placement. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) and corneal photographs were taken during the procedure. There are reports describing similar ophthalmic findings in this syndrome. However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report to document OCT imaging and corneal photographs in a patient with SCSD, which we feel expands the ophthalmic phenotype of this rare genetic disorder.

    Abstract Background: Individuals with Down syndrome have an increased risk for congenital cataracts, but descriptions of surgical, medical and developmental outcomes are sparse.
    Materials and methods: Retrospective review of medical charts of patients with Down syndrome with visits to Cincinnati Children's Hospital from 1988 to 2013 was performed. A case series of five patients with Down syndrome and cataracts is presented. A total of 47 patients with Down syndrome without cataracts were used as a developmental control. Developmental quotients were compared using an independent-sample, unequal variance t-test.
    Results: Post-operative cataract complication rates ranged from 20% to 60%. Visual outcomes were varied; significant associations between complication rate and visual outcome were not found. Developmental quotients did not show an association with number of complications, but were lower for children with Down syndrome with cataracts requiring surgery compared to children with Down syndrome without cataracts.
    Conclusion: In children with Down syndrome and congenital cataract, surgical intervention has risk for post-operative complications. Further investigation is needed to determine if there is an association between surgical complications and visual or developmental outcomes.

    Abstract Dominant mutations in MFN2 cause a range of phenotypes, including severe, early-onset axonal neuropathy, "classical CMT2", and late-onset axonal neuropathy. We found a novel MFN2 mutation - c.283A>G (p.Arg95Gly) - that results in an axonal neuropathy with variable clinical severity in a multigenerational family. In affected family members, electromyography showed moderate to severe, chronic denervation in distal muscles. Such variable clinical severity highlights the need to do careful assessments of at risk individuals when assessing MFN2 variants.

    Abstract Abstract CLEC16A has been shown to play a role in autophagy/mitophagy processes. Additionally, genetic variants in CLEC16A have been implicated in multiple autoimmune diseases. We generated an inducible whole-body knockout, Clec16a ΔUBC mice, to investigate the loss of function of CLEC16A. The mice exhibited a neuronal phenotype including tremors and impaired gait that rapidly progressed to dystonic postures. Nerve conduction studies and pathological analysis revealed loss of sensory axons that are associated with this phenotype. Activated microglia and astrocytes were found in regions of the CNS. Several mitochondrial-related proteins were up- or down-regulated. Upregulation of interferon stimulated gene 15 (IGS15) were observed in neuronal tissues. CLEC16A expression inversely related to IGS15 expression. ISG15 may be the link between CLEC16A and downstream autoimmune, inflammatory processes. Our results demonstrate that a whole-body, inducible knockout of Clec16a in mice results in an inflammatory neurodegenerative phenotype resembling spinocerebellar ataxia.

    Abstract Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2D, a hereditary axonal neuropathy, is caused by mutations in glycyl-tRNA synthetase (GARS). The mutations are distributed throughout the protein in multiple functional domains. In biochemical and cell culture experiments, some mutant forms of GARS have been indistinguishable from wild-type protein, suggesting that these in vitro tests might not adequately assess the aberrant activity responsible for axonal degeneration. Recently, mouse and fly models have offered new insights into the disease mechanism. There are still gaps in our understanding of how mutations in a ubiquitously expressed component of the translation machinery result in axonal neuropathy. Here, we review recent reports, weigh the evidence for and against possible mechanisms and suggest areas of focus for future work.
