Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome

An inherited disorder where patients present with abnormal respiration in the absence of neuromuscular, lung or cardiac diseases, or an identifiable brainstem lesion. Hypoventilation occurs during sleep but can occur during wakefulness in severe cases.Autonomic defects cause inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. Germline mutations in the PHOX2B, ASCL2, EDN3, and RET genes have been identified. OMIM: 209880
