CCHS is caused by mutations in the PHOX2B gene, and the PHOX2B genotype/mutation anticipates the CCHS phenotype, including the severity of hypoventilation, risk of sinus pauses, and risk of associated disorders including Hirschsprung disease ...
متن کاملDiaphragm pacers as a treatment for congenital central hypoventilation syndrome.
Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome is a rare syndrome present from birth, and is defined as the failure of automatic control of breathing.
