Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recently, the endothelin-3 (EDN3) and endothelin-B receptor (EDNRB) gene have been recognized as susceptibility genes for Hirschsprung's disease (HD). However, gene mutations have been observed only in limited cases, and the role of EDN3 in the pathogenesis and motility dysfunction in HD is not understood fully. To evaluate the possible implication of EDN3 and EDNRB for the development of HD, we...
