Abstract excerpt
Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is primarily caused by dominant PHOX2B mutations, with recessive LBX1 or MYO1H mutations being rare. Among PHOX2B mutations, polyalanine repeat expansion mutations (PARMs) are common, whereas non-PARMs (NPARMs) are less frequent. PHOX2B mutations are believed to act through loss-of-function mechanisms combined with dominant-negative and/or toxic gain-of-function...
