Haddad Syndrome with PHOX2B Gene Mutation in a Korean Infant
نویسندگان
چکیده
Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome with Hirschsprung's disease, also known as Haddad syndrome, is an extremely rare disorder with variable symptoms. Recent studies described that congenital central hypoventilation syndrome had deep relation to the mutation of the PHOX2B gene in its diagnosis and phenotype. We report a newborn male infant with clinical manifestations of recurrent hypoventilation with hypercapnea and bowel obstruction. These clinical manifestations were compatible with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome and Hirschsprung's disease, and polyalanine 26 repeats in the PHOX2B gene supported the diagnosis of congenital central hypoventilation. We described a first case of Haddad syndrome in Korean and its clinical and genetic characteristics were discussed.

The association of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (also known as Ondine's curse) and Hirschsprung's disease is termed Haddad syndrome, which is an extremely rare disorder. Recent studies have described that the PHOX2B gene mutation was responsible for congenital central hypoventilation syndrome. We report a term newborn male infant with clinical manifestations of recurrent hypovent...

Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome with Hirschsprung's disease, also known as Haddad syndrome, is a rare disorder with a variable phenotypic severity. The underlying cause is thought to be an abnormality of neural crest development and/or migration. Surviving neonates can have generalized autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Recent reports have identified mutations in the PHOX2B gene ...
متن کاملA Case of Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome with PHOX2B Gene Mutation in a Korean Neonate
Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a life-threatening disorder with apnea and cyanosis during sleep requiring immediate endotracheal intubation during the first day of life. The PHOX2B gene has been identified as the major gene involved in CCHS. This is the first report of a Korean neonate with CCHS confirmed to have a PHOX2B mutation with expanded alleles containing 20 polya...
متن کاملA triple threat: Down syndrome, congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, and Hirschsprung disease.
Down syndrome (DS) is recognized by characteristic facial features, intellectual disability, and an increased risk for cardiac malformations and duodenal atresia. Recently, Hirschsprung disease (HSCR), or congenital aganglionic megacolon, has been seen more often among patients with DS. Given the systemic nature of DS-related features, it is natural to attribute neonatal complications to the ch...

The modern story of CCHS began in 1970 with the first description by Mellins et al., camemost visibly to thepublic eyewith theATSStatement in 1999, andcontinueswith increasingly fast paced advances in genetics. Affected individuals have diffuse autonomic nervous system dysregulation (ANSD). The paired-like homeobox gene PHOX2B is the disease-defining gene for CCHS; amutation in the PHOX2B gene ...
