Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a developmental disorder of the enteric nervous system (ENS) characterized by congenital aganglionosis arising from coding variants in ENS genes causing partial or total loss-of-function. Low-penetrance, common, noncoding variants at RET, SEMA3 and NRG1 loci are also associated with HSCR, with small-to-moderate loss of gene expression mediated through sequence variants in...
