    Abstract Rapid-onset Obesity with Hypothalamic dysfunction, Hypoventilation, and Autonomic Dysregulation (ROHHAD) and Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) are ultra-rare distinct clinical disorders with overlapping symptoms including altered respiratory control and autonomic regulation. Although both disorders have been considered for decades to be on the same spectrum with necessity of artificial ventilation as life-support, recent acquisition of specific knowledge concerning the genetic basis of CCHS coupled with an elusive etiology for ROHHAD have definitely established that the two disorders are different. CCHS is an autosomal dominant neurocristopathy characterized by alveolar hypoventilation resulting in hypoxemia/hypercarbia and features of autonomic nervous system dysregulation (ANSD), with presentation typically in the newborn period. It is caused by paired-like homeobox 2B (PHOX2B) variants, with known genotype-phenotype correlation but pathogenic mechanism(s) are yet unknown. ROHHAD is characterized by rapid weight gain, followed by hypothalamic dysfunction, then hypoventilation followed by ANSD, in seemingly normal children ages 1.5-7 years. Postmortem neuroanatomical studies, thorough clinical characterization, pathophysiological assessment, and extensive genetic inquiry have failed to identify a cause attributable to a traditional genetic basis, somatic mosaicism, epigenetic mechanism, environmental trigger, or other. To find the key to the ROHHAD pathogenesis and to improve its clinical management, in the present chapter, we have carefully compared CCHS and ROHHAD.

    Abstract Disorders of autonomic functions are typically characterized by disturbances in multiple organ systems. These disturbances are often comorbidities of common and rare diseases, such as epilepsy, sleep apnea, Rett syndrome, congenital heart disease or mitochondrial diseases. Characteristic of many autonomic disorders is the association with intermittent hypoxia and oxidative stress, which can cause or exaggerate a variety of other autonomic dysfunctions, making the treatment and management of these syndromes very complex. In this review we discuss the cellular mechanisms by which intermittent hypoxia can trigger a cascade of molecular, cellular and network events that result in the dysregulation of multiple organ systems. We also describe the importance of computational approaches, artificial intelligence and the analysis of big data to better characterize and recognize the interconnectedness of the various autonomic and non-autonomic symptoms. These techniques can lead to a better understanding of the progression of autonomic disorders, ultimately resulting in better care and management.

    Abstract Objectives: The autonomic nervous system (ANS) can both modulate and be modulated by the inflammatory response during critical illness. We aimed to determine whether heart rate variability (HRV), a measure of ANS function, is associated with proinflammatory biomarker levels in critically ill children.
    Design: Two cohorts were analyzed. The first was a prospective observational cohort from August 2018 to August 2020 who had plasma proinflammatory cytokine measurements within 72 hours of admission, including tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-8. The second was a retrospective cohort from June 2012 to August 2020 who had at least one C-reactive protein (CRP) measurement within 72 hours of admission.
    Setting: Forty-six-bed PICU.
    Patients: Critically ill children in either cohort who had continuous heart rate data available from the bedside monitors.
    Interventions: None.
    Measurements and main results: Sixty-two patients were included in the prospective cohort and 599 patients in the retrospective cohort. HRV was measured using the age-adjusted integer heart rate variability (HRVi), which is the sd of the heart rate sampled every 1 second over 5 consecutive minutes. The median HRVi was measured in the 12-hour period ending 30 minutes prior to inflammatory biomarker collection. HRVi was inversely correlated with IL-6, IL-8, and CRP levels (p ≤ 0.02); correlation with IL-8 and CRP persisted after adjusting for Pediatric Risk of Mortality III and age, and median HR and age (p < 0.001).
    Conclusions: HRVi is inversely correlated with IL-6, IL-8, and CRP. Further studies are needed to validate this measure as a proxy for a proinflammatory state.

    Abstract Background: Rapid-onset obesity with hypothalamic dysfunction, hypoventilation, and autonomic dysregulation (ROHHAD) syndrome is an ultra-rare neurocristopathy with no known genetic or environmental etiology. Rapid-onset obesity over a 3-12 month period with onset between ages 1.5-7 years of age is followed by an unfolding constellation of symptoms including severe hypoventilation that can lead to cardiorespiratory arrest in previously healthy children if not identified early and intervention provided. Congenital Central Hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) and Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) have overlapping clinical features with ROHHAD and known genetic etiologies. Here we compare patient neurons from three pediatric syndromes (ROHHAD, CCHS, and PWS) and neurotypical control subjects to identify molecular overlap that may explain the clinical similarities.
    Methods: Dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) from neurotypical control, ROHHAD, and CCHS subjects were differentiated into neuronal cultures for RNA sequencing (RNAseq). Differential expression analysis identified transcripts variably regulated in ROHHAD and CCHS vs. neurotypical control neurons. In addition, we used previously published PWS transcript data to compare both groups to PWS patient-derived DPSC neurons. Enrichment analysis was performed on RNAseq data and downstream protein expression analysis was performed using immunoblotting.
    Results: We identified three transcripts differentially regulated in all three syndromes vs. neurotypical control subjects. Gene ontology analysis on the ROHHAD dataset revealed enrichments in several molecular pathways that may contribute to disease pathology. Importantly, we found 58 transcripts differentially expressed in both ROHHAD and CCHS patient neurons vs. control neurons. Finally, we validated transcript level changes in expression of
    Conclusions: The molecular overlap between CCHS and ROHHAD neurons suggests that the clinical phenotypes in these syndromes likely arise from or affect similar transcriptional pathways. Further, gene ontology analysis identified enrichments in ATPase transmembrane transporters, acetylglucosaminyltransferases, and phagocytic vesicle membrane proteins that may contribute to the ROHHAD phenotype. Finally, our data imply that the rapid-onset obesity seen in both ROHHAD and PWS likely arise from different molecular mechanisms. The data presented here describes important preliminary findings that warrant further validation.
