Whole Transcriptome Profiling and Metabolic Phenotyping in Children With ROHHAD Syndrome
Who can join
Ages 2 to 20 · All sexes
Full eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Children with ROHHAD syndrome Exclusion Criteria: * Children with known genetic causes of obesity
About the study
Rapid onset Obesity, Hypoventilation, Hypothalamic dysfunction and Autonomic Dysregulation (ROHHAD) is a syndrome named in 2007. The hallmark of the syndrome is the rapid onset obesity and dysregulation of central ventilation. There is little information about the metabolic changes that lead to the rapid onset obesity in these children. The investigators would like to study the metabolic phenotype of these children to understand the disturbances in energy balance that lead to the rapid onset obesity.
