Abstract excerpt
Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a congenital malformation caused by the absence of ganglion cells in the myenteric and submucosal plexuses of the gut. Recent studies have shown that mutations in the RET, glial-cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), endothelin-B receptor (EDNRB), endothelin-3 gen...
