摘要: Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a neurocristopathy caused by pathogenic heterozygous variants in the gene paired-like homeobox 2b (PHOX2B). It characterized severe infantile alveolar hypoventilation. Individuals may also have diffuse autonomic nervous system dysfunction, Hirschsprung disease and neural crest tumors. We report three individuals with CCHS due to an 8-base pair duplication PHOX2B; c.691_698dupGGCCCGGG (p.Gly234Alafs*78) predominant enteral phenotype relatively mild respiratory phenotype. The attenuated reported here elsewhere suggests emergent genotype:phenotype correlation which challenges current paradigm of invoking mechanical ventilation for all infants diagnosed CCHS. Best treatment requires careful clinical judgment ideally assistance care team expertise
