Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic heterozygous variants in PHOX2B are associated with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS), which is characterized by autonomic nervous system dysregulation severely affecting respiratory control. The interpretation of PHOX2B missense variation is challenging due to their rarity and the lack of available functional evidence. Consequently, most PHOX2B missense variants are classified as...
