Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT: Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a rare disorder associated with dysregulation of the autonomic ventilatory response to hypoxia and hypercarbia usually caused by polyalanine repeat expansion mutations in the PHOX 2B gene. Non-polyalanine repeat mutations (NPARM) represent approximately 10% of cases, and usually require continuous ventilation during sleep, although our knowledge of...
