One of the diseases resulting from such mutations in the PHOX2B gene is the disease CCHS. This is a rare and life-threatening syndrome in which babies, children and adults stop breathing as soon as they fall asleep. The patients must be connected to ventilators in order not to die in their sleep

Embryonic stem cells that develop into gametes, from which the gene encoding the Utx enzyme has been deleted, are labeled with a bright green fluorescent protein. In each of the columns is marked (in red, purple or orange) a gene essential for the survival and development of the gametes. A comparison of the tenth day of cell development (top row) with day 12 (bottom row) shows that the expression of the four essential genes is stopped. As a result, the stem cells do not develop into sperm or egg cells, but die. Photo: Weizmann Institute
