Journal ArticleDOI
Presentation and Treatment of Monozygotic Twins with Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome
TL;DR: Developmentally normal four-year-old monozygotic twin boys who presented in infancy with variable presentations and clinical severity of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome were managed with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation.

TL;DR: The reduced expression of brain- derived neurotrophic factor in the cerebrospinal fluid samples of infants with Ondine's curse is suggestive of a dysregulation in the brain-derived neurotrophicfactor synthesis that could play an important role in the breathing disorders observed in patients with idiopathic congenital central hypoventilation syndrome.
Sleep apnea in infants
TL;DR: Infancy is a developmental period characterized by instability of the control of breathing, and apneas of short duration are common, mostly central, and more frequent during rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep.

Rehan Saiyed,Casey M. Rand,Michael S. Carroll,Michael S. Carroll,Cynthia M. Koliboski,Tracey M. Stewart,Cindy D. Brogadir,Anna S. Kenny,Emily Petersen,David W. Carley,Debra E. Weese-Mayer,Debra E. Weese-Mayer +11 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that CCHS patients would exhibit lower peripheral skin temperatures (PST), variability, and circadian rhythmicity (vs. controls), as well as a disrupted relationship between core body temperature (CBT) and PST.
