Summary

This study aims to find the genes responsible for Hirschsprung disease, a condition where nerve cells are missing from parts of the intestine. Researchers will collect DNA samples from 3,000 people with the disease and their close family members. By analyzing common and rare genetic variations, they hope to better understand what causes the condition and why it affects some people more severely.
