Abstract

Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by the absence of nerves in intestine with strong genetic components. SLC6A20 was found to be associated with HSCR in Korean population waiting for replication in an independent cohort. In this study, ten single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SLC6A20 were selected from Southern Chinese with 1470 HSCR cases and 1473 ethnically matched healthy controls. Our results indicated that SNP rs7640009 was associated with HSCR and SLC6A20 has a gene-dose effect in the extent of the aganglionic segment during enteric nervous system development. It is the first time to reveal the relationship between SNP rs2191026 and Hirschsprung's disease-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) susceptibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
