Abstract excerpt
Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by life-threatening hypoventilation, possibly resulting from disruption of central chemosensory integration. However, animal models suggest the possibility of residual chemosensory function in the human disease. Cardioventilatory function in a large cohort with CCHS and verified paired-like homeobox 2B (PHOX2B)...
