Question
Neuroblastomas, Hirschsprung's disease, and a rare form of this disorder are caused by mutations in the PHOX2B (“fox-2-B”) gene. This is by far the most common disorder that can be diagnosed and studied with the aid of a RIP (“rip”) belt. The STOP-BANG questionnaire is used to screen for this disorder. The gold standard for diagnosing this disorder is finding an AHI (“A-H-I”) of greater than 5 when using a device that simultaneously performs EKG, EMG, EEG, EOG, and (*) pulse ox. Hypoglossal nerve stimulation and surgical removal of the uvula can treat the “obstructive” form of this disorder, though more conservative management includes weight loss or use of a CPAP machine. For 10 points, name this disorder common in overweight adults, which causes periods of shallow or absent breathing during sleep. ■END■
