Summary

This study aimed to better understand a rare bowel disease called intestinal epithelial dysplasia (tufting enteropathy) by looking at the genes and physical traits of affected children. Researchers studied 41 children, ages 0 to 15, who were being evaluated for an intestinal transplant. The goal was to identify the genes and mutations responsible for the condition, not to test a new treatment.
