PHOX2B Gene Central Hypoventilation Syndrome with or without Hirschsprung Disease NGS Genetic Test
PHOX2B gene central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the control of breathing. This disorder is caused by mutations in the PHOX2B gene and is also associated with Hirschsprung disease, a condition that affects the large intestine.
Individuals with CCHS may experience difficulty breathing, especially during sleep, and may require mechanical ventilation. Other symptoms may include a weak cough, a lack of response to increased carbon dioxide levels, and episodes of cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes).
The diagnosis of CCHS is usually made based on clinical symptoms, but genetic testing can confirm the presence of mutations in the PHOX2B gene. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a powerful tool for genetic testing that can identify mutations in multiple genes simultaneously.
NGS Genetic Test Cost
The cost of NGS genetic testing for PHOX2B gene central hypoventilation syndrome with or without Hirschsprung disease varies depending on the laboratory and the specific testing panel used. At DNA Labs India, the cost of this test is INR 20,000.
Symptoms of PHOX2B Gene Central Hypoventilation Syndrome with or without Hirschsprung Disease
The symptoms of PHOX2B gene central hypoventilation syndrome with or without Hirschsprung disease can vary widely, but may include:
- Difficulty breathing, especially during sleep
- A weak cough
- A lack of response to increased carbon dioxide levels
- Episodes of cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes)
- Constipation
- Abdominal distension
- Fecal incontinence
- Failure to thrive (in infants)
If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
Diagnosis of PHOX2B Gene Central Hypoventilation Syndrome with or without Hirschsprung Disease
The diagnosis of PHOX2B gene central hypoventilation syndrome with or without Hirschsprung disease is usually made based on clinical symptoms, but genetic testing can confirm the presence of mutations in the PHOX2B gene.
NGS genetic testing is a powerful tool for genetic testing that can identify mutations in multiple genes simultaneously, including the PHOX2B gene. This type of testing can provide a faster and more accurate diagnosis, allowing for earlier intervention and treatment.
