21 Σεπ 2020 · Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) is a rare condition characterized by an alveolar hypoventilation due to a deficient autonomic central control of ventilation and a global autonomic dysfunction. Paired-like homeobox 2B (PHOX2B) mutations are found in most of the patients with CCHS.

14 Μαρ 2023 · What causes congenital central hypoventilation syndrome? A mutation in the PHOX2B gene causes CCHS. The gene helps make a protein important to the production of nerve cells during fetal development. Most cases of CCHS involve a sporadic (new, sudden) mutation, but the mutation can be inherited.
22 Μαρ 2024 · In children, the most common cause of hypoventilation during sleep is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is discussed in separate topic reviews. (See "Evaluation of suspected obstructive sleep apnea in children" and "Management of obstructive sleep apnea in children".)
18 Αυγ 2016 · Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a rare genetic disorder of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) due to a mutation in the paired-like homeobox 2B (PHOX2B) gene. 1 CCHS patients usually present in the newborn period with apnea, hypoxemia, and hypercapnia without clinical signs of respiratory compromise that occur and are most s...
Symptoms of CCHS usually become apparent shortly after birth when affected infants hypoventilate upon falling asleep. In these infants, a lack of oxygen in the blood often causes a bluish appearance of the skin or lips (cyanosis). In some milder cases, CCHS may not become apparent until later in life.
28 Ιαν 2004 · Neonatal-onset CCHS is characterized by apparent hypoventilation with monotonous respiratory rates and shallow breathing either during sleep only or while awake as well as asleep; ANSD including decreased heart rate beat-to-beat variability and sinus pauses; altered temperature regulation; and altered pupillary response to light.
4 Αυγ 2017 · Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS), known colloquially as Ondine's curse, is a rare disorder characterized by impaired autonomic control of breathing during sleep from the loss of vagal input and diminished sensitivity of CO2 receptors in the medulla.
