PHOX2B Gene Central Hypoventilation Syndrome with or without Hirschsprung Disease Genetic Test
Are you or a loved one experiencing symptoms of Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) or Ondine’s Curse? DNA Labs UAE offers a comprehensive genetic test to diagnose PHOX2B Gene Central Hypoventilation Syndrome with or without Hirschsprung Disease.
Test Details
The PHOX2B gene is associated with a rare genetic disorder called Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) or Ondine’s Curse. This disorder primarily affects the autonomic control of breathing, resulting in hypoventilation during sleep. CCHS can occur either with or without Hirschsprung disease, which is a condition characterized by the absence of nerve cells in the colon, leading to difficulty in passing stool.
Our genetic test, using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously, providing a comprehensive evaluation of genetic variants. In the case of CCHS with or without Hirschsprung disease, NGS can be used to identify mutations or variants in the PHOX2B gene that are associated with the disorder.
This genetic test not only helps in confirming the diagnosis of CCHS but also plays a crucial role in genetic counseling, family planning, and determining the risk of passing on the disorder to future generations.
