Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hirschsprung disease, or congenital aganglionosis, is believed to be oligogenic-that is, caused by multiple genetic factors. We performed whole-genome sequence analyses of patients with Hirschsprung disease to identify genetic factors that contribute to disease development and analyzed the functional effects of these variants. METHODS: We performed whole-genome sequence analyses of 443 patients...
