The developmental genetics of Hirschsprung's disease.

Clinical genetics - 1 Jan 2013

Bergeron K-F, Silversides D W, Pilon N

Abstract excerpt

Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR), also known as aganglionic megacolon, derives from a congenital malformation of the enteric nervous system (ENS). It displays an incidence of 1 in 5000 live births with a 4:1 male to female sex ratio. Clinical signs include severe constipation and distended bowel due to a non-motile colon. If left untreated, aganglionic megacolon is lethal. This severe congenital condition is caused...
