Abstract excerpt
Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a rare congenital disease caused by impaired proliferation and migration of neural crest cells. In this study, we aimed to investigate the genetic loci involved in the pathogenesis of HSCR. The exome-wide scan was performed to screen the genetic variants with minor allele frequency (MAF) < 0.05 in exonic regions. Candidate mutation type and the wild type were overexpressed to...
