Mutations in the choline acetyltransferase (CHAT) gene cause a presynaptic CMS associated with episodic apnea (CMS-EA). We present two unrelated Croatian children affected by CMS-EA. Beside other clinical findings characteristic for CMS, both patients manifested intermittent apneas since early infancy. Whereas the...
