Abstract excerpt
RET gene is crucial for the development of enteric nervous system, and dys-regulation of RET expression causes Hirschsprung disease. HOXB5 regulates RET transcription, and perturbations in transcriptional regulation by HOXB5 caused reduced RET expression and defective enteric nervous system development in mice. The mechanisms by which HOXB5 regulate RET transcription are unclear. Thus, unraveling the regulatory...
