The single nucleotide polymorphisms in Smad-interacting protein 1 gene contribute to its ectopic expression and susceptibility in Hirschsprung's disease.

Abstract excerpt

Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) is the third most common congenital disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. It is an anomalous enteric nervous system (ENS) characterized by the absence of ganglion cells in the myenteric and submucosal plexuses. It has been reported that the Smad-interacting protein 1(SIP1) is critical in embryonic development of ENS for its regulation on neural crest cells. In the present study, we...
