CINECA IRIS Institutional Research Information System
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishCongenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) is a rare genetic disorder. Although most CCHS associated PHOX2B mutations occur de novo, about 10% of the cases are inherited from apparently asymptomatic parents, thus confirming variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance of PHOX2B mutations. Three asymptomatic parents of children affected with CCHS, and found to carry the same PHOX2B expansion mutations as their siblings, were studied by overnight polysomnography and somatic mosaicism analysis. In one case, significant sleep breathing control anomalies were detected, while the other two resulted in normal. In tissue-specific allele studies, mosaicism with a comparatively low mutant allele proportion was showed in the two unaffected adult carriers. Accurate polysomnography and assessment of the degree of somatic mosaicism should be conducted in asymptomatic carriers of PHOX2B mutations, as they may unmask subclinical but significant anomalies

Although most CCHS associated PHOX2B mutations occur de novo, about 10% of the cases are inherited from apparently asymptomatic parents, thus confirming variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance of PHOX2B mutations. Three asymptomatic parents of children affected with CCHS, and found to carry the same PHOX2B expansion mutations as their siblings, were studied by overnight polysomnography and somatic mosaicism analysis. In one case, significant sleep breathing control anomalies were detected, while the other two resulted in normal. In tissue-specific allele studies, mosaicism with a comparatively low mutant allele proportion was showed in the two unaffected adult carriers.
