Hedgehog (HH) is one of the key morphogens expressed in the gut mesenchyme that control animal development and tissue homeostasis. The HH gene has been shown to be closely associated with Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) and anorectal malformations (ARMs); thus, it was hypothesized that HH signaling pathway‑associated genes may be candidate genes for HSCR and ARMs. The present study aimed to evaluate whether...
