Abstract excerpt
Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a disorder of ventilatory control and autonomic dysregulation that can be caused by mutations in the paired-like homeobox 2B (PHOX2B) gene. The majority of CCHS cases are caused by polyalanine repeat mutations (PARMs) in PHOX2B; however, in rare cases, non-polyalanine repeat mutations (NPARMs) have been identified. Here, we report two patients with NPARMs in...
