Test Details
BDNF Gene Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the autonomic control of breathing. It is also known as Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) or Ondine’s Curse. The BDNF gene (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) is responsible for producing a protein that supports the growth and survival of nerve cells involved in the control of breathing. Mutations in the BDNF gene can lead to CCHS, causing abnormal breathing patterns during sleep or even while awake.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) Genetic Testing is a type of genetic testing that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of CCHS, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the BDNF gene, helping in the diagnosis of the condition.
NGS genetic testing for CCHS involves collecting a DNA sample, typically through a blood sample or saliva sample, and analyzing the DNA for any mutations or variations in the BDNF gene. The results of the test can help confirm a diagnosis of CCHS and provide valuable information for genetic counseling and management of the condition.
It is important to note that CCHS is a complex disorder with various genetic causes. While mutations in the BDNF gene are one known cause, other genes such as PHOX2B have also been associated with CCHS. Therefore, a comprehensive genetic test that includes multiple genes associated with CCHS may be necessary for a more accurate diagnosis.
