Abstract excerpt
Hirschsprung disease is a heterogeneous genetic disorder, causative genes of which include the endothelin B receptor (ETB). To investigate the mutations of ETB in Hirschsprung disease, expression of the ETB gene in lymphoblastoid cells from patients and normal healthy adults was examined, and novel mutant transcripts were found. The mutant ETB gene transcripts lacked a 134-bp nucleotide sequence corresponding to...
