Abstract excerpt
To date, three genes have been identified as susceptibility genes for Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR), the RET proto-oncogene, the endothelin-B receptor gene (EDNRB) and the endothelin-3 gene (EDN3). However, the question of whether these genes play a role in sporadically occurring HSCR has not been fully clarified. In this study, the authors performed mutation analysis of these three genes in 41 sporadic HSCR...
