@Akrasia25: New (via GA promotion) and long enough, within policy, I see only one previous DYK credit so QPQ not required, Earwig finds no copyvios. The hook facts are a bit technical; getting Kristin Stewart into one of the hooks would be interesting. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 06:06, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for the extra hook. ALT1 isn't quite right, as the source says "mean age of onset in classical FRDA is between 10 and 16 years". For ALT2, "devastating" and "monogenic" aren't explicitly in the article, and the former is usually a subjective term. The rest check out factually.
