Abstract excerpt
Mutation in paired-like homeobox 2B (PHOX2B) is used as the diagnostic marker of Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS). The mutant gene/protein affects neural crest cells embryonic development which leads to congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS). When individuals also have Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) with CCHS it is known as Haddad syndrome (HS). Previous studies on CCHS/HS have mainly...
