Abstract excerpt
The autosomal recessive spotting lethal (sl) rat phenotype is characterized by absence of intramural ganglion cells in the entire colon and distal small bowel, thus resembling the human Hirschsprung (HSCR) disease. A strategy for identifying the gene responsible for this rat defect was initiated by backcrossing DA x sl rats. After excluding linkage with two candidate genes, RET and Endothelin-3 (EDN3), a highly...
