Hyperventilation syndrome (HVS) is a frequent disorder of which the etiology is unclear. Diagnosis is based on the ruling out of organic disease and, more positively, on results of the Nijmegen questionnaire, reproduction of symptoms during the hyperventilation provocation test (HPVT), and detected hypocapnia. Treatment is based on targeted respiratory physiotherapy consisting in voluntary hypoventilation and instructions to the patient on regular respiratory exercise over an appreciable period of time. Additional research is needed to evaluate the validity of current investigative tools leading to the diagnosis of hyperventilation syndrome and to appraise the efficacy of current respiratory physiotherapy methods.

During cortical development, the differentiation potential of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) is one of the most critical steps in normal cortical formation and function. Defects in this process can lead to many brain disorders. MicroRNA dysregulation in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is associated with risk for a variety of developmental and psychiatric conditions.

Breathing pattern disorder (BPD) refers to a heterogenous condition, which features altered normal respiratory functioning that cannot be fully attributed to organic causes at the current time. Characteristic symptoms of this condition include dyspnea, and irregular ventilation. The diagnosis of BPD is made utilizing a combination of patient-reported experiences in the form of validated questionnaires, direct observation by experienced clinicians, and objective testing in the form of cardiopulmonary exercise testing.

The clinical data of children with Pitt-Hopkins syndrome (PTHS) who were treated in the Affiliated Women and Children's Hospital of Ningbo University from September 2022 to January 2024 were retrospectively included. The patients were followed up to June 2024, and their clinical and genetic characteristics were analyzed. A total of 4 children were included, 2 males and 2 females, with a diagnostic age [M (Q, Q)] of 22 (10, 32) months.

Background: Pitt-Hopkins syndrome (PTHS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder that results from variants of TCF4 gene. PTHS follows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern and the underlying pathological mechanisms of this disease are still unclear.
Methods: Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was conducted to screen for potential pathogenic variant in a boy highly suspected of having a genetic disorder.

Kleefstra syndrome (KLEFS1) is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder affecting multiple body systems. It continues to be under-researched, and its prevalence remains unknown. This paper builds on the international KLEFS1 cohort of 172 individuals based on the caregiver-reported outcomes collected within the online data collection platform GenIDA and reports the occurrence, frequency and severity of symptoms in KLEFS1.
