The Somatic Mutation Paradigm in Congenital Malformations: Hirschsprung Disease as a Model
Patients with Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) do not always receive a genetic diagnosis after routine screening in clinical practice. One of the reasons for this could be that the causal mutation is not present in the cell types that are usually tested—whole blood, dermal fibroblasts or saliva—but is on...
