Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) (formerly known as the Ondine curse, after the mythical story) is a disorder of the automatic control of breathing. In CCHS, the body "forgets" to breathe, especially during sleep. Researchers have identified a particular gene defect (PHOX2B) associated with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, but how the mutation causes the syndrome is not yet known. It is also not known how frequently CCHS occurs, but it is estimated to be a rare disorder.
