[New mutations associated with Hirschsprung disease].

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Hirschsprung disease is caused by an impairment in cell migration from the neural crest to the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in an absence of neurons in the myenteric plexus. Many mutations in several genes have been associated to Hirschsprung disease; most of them affecting the RET proto-oncogen pathway. The purpose of this study is the description of novel and known mutations in genes...
