Aberrant Epithelial Differentiation Contributes to Pathogenesis in a Murine Model of Congenital Tufting Enteropathy
2020-10-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background & Aims</h4> Congenital Tufting Enteropathy (CTE) is an intractable diarrheal disease of infancy caused by mutation of Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EpCAM). The cellular and molecular basis of CTE pathology has been elusive. We hypothesized that the loss of EpCAM in CTE results in altered lineage differentiation and defects in absorptive enterocytes thereby contributing to CTE pathogenesis. <h4...
