PURPOSE: The RET proto-oncogene is considered to be the major susceptibility gene involved in Hirschsprung disease. Traditional RET germline mutations account for a small subset of Hirschsprung disease patients, but several studies have shown that there is a specific haplotype of RET associated with the sporadic forms of Hirschsprung disease. We have investigated for RET germline mutations and analyzed the RET...
