Candidate genes for obstructive sleep apnea in non-syndromic children with craniofacial dysmorphisms – a narrative review

Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (POSA) is a complex disease with multifactorial etiopathogenesis. The presence of craniofacial dysmorphisms influencing the patency of the upper airway is considered a risk factor for POSA development.
