Abstract excerpt
Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system. The genetic defect is usually caused by heterozygous mutations of the PHOX2B gene such as a 20-alanine tract (+5 to+13 alanines) expansion (approximately 95%) and occasional frameshift or missense mutations. Cytoplasmic aggregates were shown in PHOX2B proteins with longer alanine tract (+9 and longer) expansion and...
