Combined effects of <i>Ret</i> coding and enhancer loss-of-function alleles cause progressive loss of inhibitory motor neurons in the enteric nervous system
2025-01-23
Abstract excerpt
Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a congenital enteric neuropathy caused by disrupted development of enteric neural crest-derived cells (ENCDCs). Although pathogenic coding variants in RET account for many cases, the largest genetic contribution to HSCR risk arises from a common non-coding variant (rs2435357) within a SOX10-bound RET enhancer (MCS+9.7) that reduces RET gene expression in vivo and triggers expression...
