The ITGB2 immunomodulatory gene (CD18), enterocolitis, and Hirschsprung's disease.

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR)-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) remains a major contributor to morbidity and mortality associated with HSCR, being sometimes difficult to diagnose in its subclinical form. Its pathogenesis appears to include impaired local defense mechanisms as well as dysfunctional immune response and leukocyte function. In this context, the ITGB2 (CD18) immunomodulation-related gene is...
