Significant phenotype variability of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome in a family with polyalanine expansion mutation of the PHOX2B gene

Significant phenotype variability of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome in a family with polyalanine expansion mutation of the PHOX2B gene

Background: Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a rare genetic disorder resulting from mutations in the PHOX2B gene located on chromosome 4p12.3, characterized by hypoventilation secondary to missing responses to both hypercapnia and hypoxia. Case report: Proband. A girl, hospitali...
