Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the paired-like homeobox 2 b (PHOX2B) gene are associated with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS), which is a rare condition in which both autonomic dysregulation with hypoventilation and an enteric neuropathy may occur. The majority of patients with CCHS have a polyalanine repeat mutation (PARM) in PHOX2B, but a minority of patients have nonpolyalanine repeat mutations (NPARMs), some...
