Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Refractory esophageal stricture (RES) may be attributed to food allergy. Its etiology and pathogenesis are not fully understood. Identification of novel genetic variants associated with this disease by exome sequencing (exome-seq) may provide new mechanistic insights and new therapeutic targets. METHODS: To identify new and novel disease-associating variants, whole-exome sequencing was performed on an...
