Abstract excerpt
Congenital aganglionosis rat (AR) is a mutant with an autosomal recessive gene (sl), which shows megacolon caused by the absence of myenteric ganglion cells and white coat-color with a small pigmented spot on the head. Recently, targeted disruption of the endothelin-B (ETB) receptor gene (EDNRB) in the mouse has been reported to cause aganglionic megacolon and coat color spotting resembling the phenotypes of the...
