Abstract excerpt
Expansions of a polyalanine (polyA) stretch in the coding region of the PHOX2B gene cause congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS), a neurocristopathy characterized by the absence of adequate control of autonomic breathing. Expansion of polyA in PHOX2B leads to protein misfolding and accumulation into inclusions. The mechanisms that regulate mutant protein degradation and turnover have been poorly...
