Autosomal Centronuclear Myopathy — encompassing Autosomal Recessive Centronuclear Myopathy (BIN1-CNM, OMIM #255200) caused by biallelic pathogenic mutations in BIN1 (bridging integrator 1 / amphiphysin 2 gene, chromosome 2q14.3), and Autosomal Dominant Centronuclear Myopathy (DNM2-CNM, OMIM #160150) caused by heterozygous pathogenic mutations in DNM2 (dynamin 2 gene, chromosome 19p13.2) — comprises two genetically distinct but pathomechanistically related forms of a group of rare congenital myopathies unified by the pathological hallmark of abnormally centralized myonuclei in skeletal muscle fibers; in normal mature skeletal muscle fibers, myonuclei are uniformly positioned at the fiber periphery beneath the sarcolemma, and this peripheral positioning is maintained by active nuclear migration mechanisms that are essential for normal neuromuscular junction maturation, myofiber growth, and excitation-contraction coupling; in centronuclear myopathy, this nuclear positioning is disrupted, causing chains of internalized nuclei at the center of muscle fibers in a pattern reminiscent of fetal myotubes — explaining the older term "myotubular myopathy" for the most severe X-linked form (MTM1, now termed X-linked myotubular myopathy), which is a distinct and more severe entity from the autosomal forms described here; BIN1/amphiphysin 2 is encoded by a gene with multiple alternatively spliced isoforms, the muscle-specific isoform containing an exon 11-encoded CLAP (clathrin and AP2 binding) domain that is absent from the neuronally expressed isoform; muscle BIN1/amphiphysin 2 functions as a membrane-tubulating protein that senses and generates membrane curvature, localizes to T-tubule membranes — the transverse tubular system essential for excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle — and is required for T-tubule network formation and maintenance; biallelic loss-of-function BIN1 mutations (including missense variants disrupting membrane tubulation, exon-skipping splice variants, frameshift and nonsense mutations, and large deletions) impair T-tubule biogenesis, causing disorganized T-tubule networks with abnormal nuclear positioning as a secondary consequence of impaired cytoskeletal-membrane coordination; DNM2/dynamin 2 is a large GTPase belonging to the dynamin superfamily that mediates membrane fission — the pinching-off of endocytic vesicles, T-tubule formation, and membrane remodeling — and is ubiquitously expressed; muscle DNM2 localizes to T-tubule necks and mediates the membrane fission events required for T-tubule maturation and maintenance; heterozygous dominant DNM2 mutations causing DNM2-CNM cluster in specific domains (pleckstrin homology domain, middle domain, GED domain) and may act through gain-of-function mechanisms that aberrantly stabilize GTP-bound dynamin or through dominant-negative effects that impair membrane fission; both BIN1 and DNM2 mutations converge on the same downstream pathology — impaired T-tubule network formation disrupting excitation-contraction coupling — which explains why BIN1-CNM and DNM2-CNM share common clinical features despite distinct molecular mechanisms and inheritance patterns; the shared clinical signature of autosomal centronuclear myopathy across both BIN1 and DNM2 forms includes: facial weakness (bifacial weakness, ptosis, and ophthalmoparesis — extraocular muscle weakness causing limited eye movements — are characteristic and present across the CNM subtype spectrum, with facial involvement providing a diagnostic clinical clue distinguishing CNM from most LGMD subtypes that spare the face), proximal limb weakness of variable severity, high-arched palate, potential feeding difficulties and failure to thrive in the most severely affected childhood-onset BIN1-CNM cases, and CK normal or mildly elevated; BIN1-CNM presents with moderate to severe disease in early childhood (though some patients present in adulthood), frequently with significant respiratory involvement including nocturnal hypoventilation requiring NIV, and facial weakness including ptosis, ophthalmoparesis, and bifacial weakness is prominent; DNM2-CNM typically has a milder, more slowly progressive phenotype with onset ranging from childhood to adulthood, facial weakness including ptosis and mild ophthalmoparesis is present, proximal limb weakness is slowly progressive, and respiratory involvement is generally milder and later than in BIN1-CNM; high-arched palate, scoliosis, and orthopaedic complications from chronic muscle weakness are common across both forms; the pathological examination of muscle biopsy shows central nuclear chains, necklace fibers (chains of nuclei arranged in a necklace pattern around the fiber periphery — more characteristic of DNM2-CNM), type 1 fiber predominance with type 1 fiber hypotrophy, radial arrangements of sarcoplasmic reticulum around central nuclei, and T-tubule disorganization detectable on electron microscopy; ophthalmic assessment for ptosis severity and ophthalmoparesis is essential because CNM-related ptosis and ophthalmoplegia can impair visual function and driving fitness — ptosis causing visual field obstruction and ophthalmoparesis limiting oculomotor compensation require specialist evaluation for surgical and optical management; diagnosis is confirmed by identification of biallelic BIN1 variants (recessive) or a heterozygous DNM2 variant (dominant) on gene panel or exome sequencing, with the genetic result determining inheritance pattern and guiding family cascade testing strategy; no approved disease-modifying therapy exists, though BIN1 and DNM2 biology defines therapeutic targets including AAV-mediated gene therapy and dynamin modulation.
Autosomal Centronuclear Myopathy technology platforms — covering the pediatric and adult neuromuscular platforms through which infants and children with facial weakness, ptosis, ophthalmoparesis, proximal limb weakness, and high-arched palate enter the diagnostic pathway for BIN1-CNM or DNM2-CNM, the ophthalmic assessment platforms managing the ptosis severity monitoring, extraocular motility assessment, visual field testing, and driving fitness surveillance that are essential care requirements given the ocular manifestations that characterize CNM across both BIN1 and DNM2 forms, the respiratory function monitoring platforms managing the NIV program that is required in a substantial proportion of BIN1-recessive CNM patients and requires careful interval FVC monitoring and NIV device management, the feeding and swallowing assessment platforms coordinating the dysphagia management that is necessary in severely affected childhood-onset BIN1-CNM cases, the orthopaedic assessment platforms managing scoliosis surveillance with Cobb angle measurement and bracing or surgical management for progressive curves, the speech and language therapy platforms coordinating the dysarthria assessment and speech management arising from facial weakness and bulbar involvement, the physiotherapy platforms managing progressive rehabilitation programs across a congenital myopathy with facial weakness and proximal limb weakness, the genetic counseling platforms managing the genotype-specific inheritance counseling — BIN1 autosomal recessive versus DNM2 autosomal dominant — that determines cascade testing strategy, risk to biological relatives, and reproductive options counseling, and the molecular genetic documentation platforms recording the gene (BIN1 versus DNM2), variant identity, and inheritance pattern that determines the entire family counseling and surveillance framework — must maintain the availability and performance that T-tubule-biology-informed care, ophthalmic surveillance, respiratory NIV management, scoliosis monitoring, feeding management, and genotype-specific genetic counseling require. This guide explains why Autosomal Centronuclear Myopathy care tech platforms require specialized monitoring, what to monitor, and how to build a monitoring strategy calibrated to the T-tubule biology, facial and ophthalmic involvement, respiratory complexity, scoliosis risk, and genotype-specific counseling requirements of BIN1-CNM and DNM2-CNM.
Why Autosomal Centronuclear Myopathy Tech Platforms Require Specialized Monitoring Attention
Centronuclear myopathy presents platform dependencies arising from the combination of ocular involvement requiring specialist ophthalmology surveillance, respiratory involvement requiring proactive NIV monitoring in BIN1-CNM, scoliosis requiring orthopaedic surveillance, facial weakness requiring feeding and speech assessment, and two distinct inheritance patterns (BIN1 recessive, DNM2 dominant) requiring genotype-specific genetic counseling programs.
Ophthalmic assessment platforms monitor ptosis and ophthalmoparesis that can impair visual function and driving fitness. Ptosis and ophthalmoparesis are defining features of centronuclear myopathy across BIN1 and DNM2 forms. Ptosis — drooping of the upper eyelid caused by levator palpebrae superioris and Müller muscle involvement — causes visual field obstruction when severe, requiring measurement of margin-reflex distance (MRD1) at each ophthalmic visit to document severity and guide intervention timing; ptosis surgery, eyelid crutches, and ptosis props are management options at defined severity thresholds. Ophthalmoparesis — limited extraocular muscle movements — impairs compensatory gaze strategies and in severe cases can cause symptomatic diplopia. Driving fitness assessment is a safety-critical outcome: CNM-related ptosis causing superior visual field loss and ophthalmoparesis limiting peripheral gaze can impair the visual field requirements for safe driving, and this assessment must be formally conducted and documented. Platform failures in ophthalmic assessment scheduling disrupt the longitudinal ptosis severity record and delay driving fitness reviews. Monitor during clinical hours.
Respiratory function platforms manage the NIV program that is a clinical necessity for a substantial proportion of BIN1-CNM patients. Respiratory failure is a major morbidity driver in BIN1 autosomal recessive CNM, where respiratory muscle involvement including diaphragm weakness and intercostal muscle weakness can cause nocturnal hypoventilation, daytime somnolence, morning headaches, and progressive respiratory failure requiring NIV. Serial FVC monitoring with defined threshold alerts, overnight pulse oximetry for hypoventilation detection, NIV titration records, and NIV device adherence monitoring create platform dependencies that carry direct patient safety implications — a platform failure interrupting NIV adherence monitoring means that a child with BIN1-CNM who has been non-adherent with their BiPAP device and developing progressive nocturnal hypoventilation is not detected until a clinical deterioration event. Monitor during clinical hours.
Scoliosis surveillance platforms manage the progressive spinal curve that requires orthopaedic monitoring from early childhood. Scoliosis is a common orthopaedic complication of congenital myopathy including CNM, arising from axial muscle weakness causing asymmetric spinal loading. Serial Cobb angle measurement on spinal radiographs at defined intervals from early childhood, spinal brace management records for curves in the 20–40 degree range, and surgical referral coordination for curves exceeding 40–50 degrees create platform dependencies in the orthopaedic care pathway. The scoliosis surveillance platform failure that prevents scheduled spinal X-ray at the annual review visit for a 9-year-old with BIN1-CNM means that a Cobb angle that has progressed from 28 to 39 degrees — approaching the bracing threshold — is not measured at the planned interval and the brace prescription is delayed. Monitor during clinical hours.
Feeding and swallowing platforms manage the dysphagia that is clinically significant in severe childhood-onset BIN1-CNM. Bulbar and facial weakness in BIN1-CNM can impair sucking and swallowing in infancy, causing feeding difficulties, failure to thrive, aspiration risk, and gastrostomy tube requirement in severely affected patients. Swallowing assessment by videofluoroscopy, nasogastric feeding records, gastrostomy insertion and management records, and feeding team coordination create platform dependencies specific to the pediatric BIN1-CNM presentation. Monitor during clinical hours.
Genotype-specific genetic counseling platforms manage two entirely different inheritance patterns. BIN1-CNM is autosomal recessive (25% sibling recurrence risk; carrier testing for partners) while DNM2-CNM is autosomal dominant (50% child recurrence risk; first-degree relative testing offers). The genetic counseling platform must correctly route each patient to the genotype-appropriate cascade testing program — a platform failure that prevents access to the genetic variant record at the genetic counseling appointment could lead to a counseling session based on the wrong inheritance model, with entirely different recurrence risk figures and cascade testing recommendations communicated to the family. Monitor during clinical hours.
What to Monitor on an Autosomal Centronuclear Myopathy (BIN1/DNM2) Care Tech Platform
Ophthalmic Assessment and Monitoring
Monitor ptosis severity records at each ophthalmic visit documenting MRD1 (margin-reflex distance 1 — the distance between the corneal light reflex and the upper lid margin; normal approximately 4–5 mm; ptosis is graded as mild at 2–3 mm, moderate at 1 mm, and severe at 0 mm or less); levator function assessment records; ptosis management records including ptosis props prescription, eyelid crutch fitting, and ptosis surgical referral records when MRD1 falls to the surgical threshold; extraocular motility assessment records documenting the range of motion in six directions of gaze — ophthalmoparesis in CNM typically shows limitation of upward gaze, lateral gaze, or global limitation; prism assessment records for patients with symptomatic diplopia; visual field testing records documenting superior field loss from ptosis; best-corrected visual acuity records; driving fitness assessment records — formal DVLA-standard driving visual field assessment documenting whether ptosis and ophthalmoparesis together cross the driving legal minimum; driving restriction documentation records and notification records to licensing authority; lubricating eye drop prescription records for patients with corneal exposure from incomplete lid closure (lagophthalmos in patients with combined facial weakness and ptosis); and annual ophthalmic surveillance scheduling records. Alert on platform failures during ophthalmic assessment visits and driving fitness review scheduling.
Muscle Function and Longitudinal Functional Assessments
Monitor dynamometry records documenting proximal limb girdle strength — shoulder abductor, elbow flexor and extensor, hip flexor, hip extensor, hip abductor, and knee extensor strength bilaterally; NSAA (North Star Ambulatory Assessment) or Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale Expanded (HFMSE) records for patients with childhood-onset BIN1-CNM; GFAQ records for adult DNM2-CNM patients; timed motor function test records including 10-meter walk time, time to rise from floor, 4-stair climb time, and timed up-and-go; 6-minute walk test distance records; Medical Research Council grading records for proximal and distal muscle groups; facial muscle assessment records documenting bifacial weakness grade, mouth opening, lip seal strength, and cheek puff strength — facial weakness is a core CNM feature that affects speech, feeding, and protection of airway during respiratory tract infections; head control records for severely affected pediatric BIN1-CNM patients; and neck flexor and extensor strength records documenting axial muscle involvement. Alert on platform failures during scheduled functional assessment visits.
Respiratory Function Monitoring
Monitor serial FVC records at biannual intervals for ambulatory BIN1-CNM patients and annual intervals for milder DNM2-CNM patients — with increased frequency (quarterly) for BIN1-CNM patients with FVC below 60% predicted or those with known diaphragm weakness; FVC threshold alert records triggering urgent NIV assessment when FVC falls below 60% predicted; supine versus sitting FVC comparison records to detect diaphragm weakness (supine-to-sitting FVC drop greater than 10% percentage points indicates significant diaphragm weakness); overnight pulse oximetry records documenting nocturnal saturation nadir, desaturation index, and mean overnight SaO2 — for BIN1-CNM patients with FVC below 70% or symptomatic morning headaches; capnography records for PCO2 monitoring in patients with suspected hypoventilation; NIV prescription and initiation records; NIV device (BiPAP, CPAP, or volume-targeted device) settings records including IPAP, EPAP, back-up rate, and mask type; NIV adherence records from device download (hours per night); NIV titration records and overnight clinic titration study results; peak cough flow records and assisted cough device prescription records for patients with reduced cough strength; and respiratory physiotherapy records for airway clearance management. Monitor during clinical hours.
Scoliosis and Orthopaedic Surveillance
Monitor annual spinal radiograph scheduling records and Cobb angle measurement records from AP spine radiograph — tracking Cobb angle progression from baseline through the surveillance period; spinal orthosis (TLSO brace) prescription, fitting, and wearing-time compliance records for curves in the 20–40 degree range; surgical referral records for curves approaching or exceeding 40–50 degrees or showing rapid progression rate; physiotherapy records for spinal stabilization and postural management; foot orthosis and ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) prescription records for patients with ankle dorsiflexion weakness or foot drop; joint contracture assessment records documenting hip flexor, knee flexor, and ankle plantar flexor contracture development and stretching compliance; orthopaedic surgery records for contracture releases where required; and seating and wheelchair positioning assessment records for non-ambulatory patients with scoliosis. Monitor during clinical hours.
Feeding, Swallowing, and Speech Assessment
Monitor videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) scheduling and report records for symptomatic patients — particularly pediatric BIN1-CNM patients with feeding difficulties and aspiration risk; fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) records where VFSS is not available; feeding tube records including nasogastric feeding prescription and gastrostomy tube insertion records for patients with severe dysphagia; gastrostomy tube management records including site care records, tube change records, and complication records; enteral feeding formula prescription records and nutritional assessment records; speech and language therapy assessment records documenting dysarthria severity — facial weakness causing bifacial palsy significantly impairs speech intelligibility via impaired labial consonant production; augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device assessment records for patients with severe dysarthria; and feeding team multidisciplinary records where available. Monitor during clinical hours.
Physiotherapy Coordination
Monitor physiotherapy scheduling and attendance records for outpatient conditioning programs tailored to the proximal and facial weakness pattern of CNM; hydrotherapy and aquatic therapy records for buoyancy-assisted conditioning in patients with significant proximal weakness; home exercise program documentation with exercise type, intensity, and frequency; program modification records triggered by functional decline or respiratory deterioration; passive stretching and contracture prevention records; and physiotherapy outcome measure records at clinic visits. Monitor during clinical hours.
Genetic Counseling and Cascade Testing
Monitor genetic counseling attendance records and documentation of the genotype-specific inheritance model counseled — BIN1 autosomal recessive (25% sibling recurrence risk; carrier testing offer for parents and at-risk siblings; partner carrier testing for family planning) versus DNM2 autosomal dominant (50% child risk; first-degree relative testing offers; de novo mutation frequency consideration); carrier testing records for BIN1-CNM families identifying heterozygous carrier parents and siblings; prenatal diagnostic option records (chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis, preimplantation genetic testing); at-risk family member genotyping records for DNM2-CNM families offering predictive testing to at-risk children; reproductive planning records; and genetic counseling documentation confirming that the gene-specific inheritance model was correctly communicated to the family and that cascade testing was offered appropriately. Monitor during clinical hours.
Molecular Diagnostic Records
Monitor genetic test records documenting the causative gene (BIN1 biallelic versus DNM2 heterozygous), specific variant identities with ACMG/AMP classification, and confirmation of inheritance pattern; muscle biopsy histopathology records documenting central nuclear chains, necklace fiber pattern (if present — more characteristic of DNM2-CNM), type 1 fiber predominance, type 1 fiber hypotrophy, and absence of the marked inflammatory infiltrate that would suggest a different diagnosis; electron microscopy records where available documenting T-tubule disorganization ultrastructure; and immunohistochemistry records for DNM2 and BIN1 protein expression where technically available. Monitor during clinical hours.
Walking Aid Progression and Falls Risk
Monitor walking aid progression records for ambulatory patients documenting transitions through unassisted ambulation, single-point cane, Lofstrand crutch, rollator, and powered wheelchair; falls incident records; occupational therapy home assessment records; and powered mobility prescription records. Monitor during clinical hours.
Authentication and Clinical Access
Monitor authentication at 1-minute intervals, 24/7. Autosomal CNM multidisciplinary care teams spanning pediatric and adult neuromuscular specialists, ophthalmologists managing ptosis and ophthalmoparesis, respiratory physicians managing NIV programs, orthopaedic surgeons managing scoliosis, speech and language therapists managing dysarthria and dysphagia, physiotherapists, occupational therapists managing walking aid progression, feeding teams coordinating gastrostomy management, genetic counselors managing genotype-specific cascade testing programs, and trial coordinators require concurrent platform access during longitudinal assessment visits.
SSL Certificates
Monitor SSL certificate expiry across ophthalmic assessment platforms, respiratory function monitoring portals, scoliosis surveillance scheduling systems, NIV management applications, feeding and swallowing assessment platforms, genetic counseling platforms, and molecular diagnostic systems. Certificate errors in respiratory monitoring or genetic counseling platforms carry the highest clinical urgency in CNM.
HIPAA and Centronuclear Myopathy Patient Privacy Considerations
Autosomal Centronuclear Myopathy technology platforms handle PHI categories including BIN1 biallelic or DNM2 heterozygous pathogenic variant records with GINA protections and genotype-specific inheritance implications, pediatric congenital myopathy records for childhood-onset BIN1-CNM patients, driving fitness restriction records with licensing authority notification implications, respiratory NIV adherence records from device downloads, swallowing and feeding records including aspiration risk documentation, scoliosis and orthopaedic surgical records, videofluoroscopic swallowing study records, gastrostomy tube management records, AAC device assessment records for non-verbal patients, and reproductive genetic counseling records. HIPAA Security Rule and FERPA protections (for school-aged pediatric patients with IEP coordination) apply across all platform components.

Conclusion
Autosomal Centronuclear Myopathy technology platforms operate in the context of a congenital myopathy in which the T-tubule biogenesis defect creates clinical complexity spanning four organ systems simultaneously — the ocular system (ptosis and ophthalmoparesis requiring specialist ophthalmology surveillance and driving fitness assessment), the respiratory system (diaphragm and intercostal muscle weakness requiring NIV in BIN1-CNM), the musculoskeletal system (proximal limb weakness and facial weakness alongside scoliosis requiring orthopaedic monitoring), and the feeding and communication systems (dysphagia and dysarthria from facial weakness requiring speech and gastrostomy management) — demanding platform reliability across all four domains simultaneously; the ophthalmic assessment platform that fails during the scheduled ptosis review for an 18-year-old with DNM2-CNM means that the MRD1 measurement documenting progressive ptosis — declining from 2.2 mm to 0.8 mm over 14 months and now approaching the 0 mm severe threshold that warrants ptosis surgery referral — is not captured, the surgical referral that would have been generated at the visit is not made, the patient continues with the superior visual field obstruction that the 0.8 mm ptosis is causing, and the driving fitness assessment that the ophthalmologist would have scheduled in the context of the severe ptosis is not performed before the patient applies for their driving licence; the respiratory monitoring platform failure that prevents FVC result integration for a 12-year-old with BIN1-CNM — in whom FVC has declined from 68% to 57% predicted over eight months on serial spirometry, crossing the 60% NIV assessment threshold — means that the threshold alert is not generated, the respiratory physician who is monitoring the patient quarterly is not notified between clinic visits, the patient is not called to an urgent NIV titration study, and the three months of nocturnal hypoventilation that elapsed between the platform failure and the next scheduled clinic visit represent a period of preventable sleep-disordered breathing in a growing child where nocturnal hypoxia and hypercapnia during growth have cognitive and developmental consequences; a NIV adherence platform failure for a 15-year-old with severe BIN1-CNM who has been progressively using her BiPAP for only two to three hours per night — well below the prescribed eight hours — over the past six weeks means that the non-adherence trend is not detected between quarterly clinic visits, the device download data that would have identified the adherence pattern at the scheduled visit is not flagged before the appointment, the care team arrives at the quarterly review without forewarning of the respiratory deterioration that progressive BiPAP non-adherence is causing, and the intervention that would have addressed the mask intolerance causing the non-adherence is delayed; a scoliosis surveillance platform failure that prevents scheduling of the annual spinal X-ray for a 7-year-old with BIN1-CNM — in whom the prior Cobb angle was 26 degrees and whose axial weakness is progressing — means that a Cobb angle that has advanced to 36 degrees over the 16-month gap since the previous radiograph is not measured at the 12-month intended interval, the TLSO brace that would have been prescribed at 30 degrees was not offered at the optimal window, and the scoliosis progresses through the bracing window toward the surgical range while the family assumes that the absence of an appointment means the curve has not changed; a genetic counseling platform failure during the session for parents of a newly diagnosed 14-month-old with biallelic BIN1 mutations means that the autosomal recessive inheritance explanation is not completed, the carrier testing offer for the mother's two adult sisters — who are of childbearing age — is not documented, the prenatal diagnostic options for the parents' second planned pregnancy are not discussed at the optimal timing, and the siblings who are unaware of their carrier status proceed with reproductive planning without the genetic information that could have informed their decisions; and a driving fitness platform failure for a 24-year-old with DNM2-CNM who has just passed her driving test means that the ophthalmology report documenting right superior hemianopia from severe right ptosis — failing the DVLA minimum visual field standard for driving — is not entered into the care record, the driving fitness notification workflow is not triggered, and the legal obligation to inform the patient of the visual field failure and recommend notification to the driving licensing authority is not fulfilled. These failures occur across four organ systems simultaneously, in patients who are already managing the lifelong complexity of a congenital myopathy with facial, ocular, respiratory, and orthopaedic dimensions, and for whom the care platform's reliability is the infrastructure through which the multidisciplinary team stays connected across the multiple specialties — ophthalmology, respiratory, orthopaedic, speech therapy, genetics — that centronuclear myopathy demands.
Uptime monitoring gives Autosomal Centronuclear Myopathy care tech teams the detection capability to identify platform failures within seconds, activate clinical downtime procedures that protect ophthalmic surveillance, respiratory NIV monitoring, scoliosis tracking, feeding and swallowing management, speech therapy records, and genotype-specific genetic counseling documentation during outages, and demonstrate to congenital myopathy centers, neuromuscular disease programs, and families navigating a lifelong T-tubule defect with ocular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, and communication complexity that platform reliability matches the comprehensiveness and multidisciplinary commitment that BIN1-CNM and DNM2-CNM care demands.
