We present the case of a patient with total colonic aganglionosis and small-bowel involvement (TCSA) associated with a 46, XX, del 10 (q11.21 q21.2) karyotype. Seromuscular biopsies were taken from the rectum, colon, cecum, and terminal ileum. The alpha-naphthylesterase technique was applied to demonstrate intestinal ganglia of the myenteric plexus. The patient did not have associated anomalies. The association of TCSA with 10 long-arm interstitial deletion has not been reported in the…

Hirschsprung's disease in Arab siblings with Bardet-Biedl syndrome.
The Molecular Genetics of Hirschsprung’s Disease
TLDR
The variable extent of aganglionosis correlates with severity of the disease, leading to a classification of HSCR into short- and long-segment phenotypes, which can extend below the rectosigmoid junction, or up to the whole bowel.
Hirschsprung disease, associated syndromes and genetics: a review
TLDR
Isolated HSCR appears to be a non-Mendelian malformation with low, sex-dependent penetrance, and variable expression according to the length of the aganglionic segment, which stands as a model for genetic disorders with complex patterns of inheritance.
Hirschsprung’s Disease: A Historical Perspective – 1691–2018
TLDR
Development of more sophisticated diagnostic tools – barium enema, anorectal manometry, and acetylcholinesterase staining of mucosal biopsies – allowed earlier diagnosis of children with Hirschsprung’s disease.
Hirschsprung's disease as a neurochristopathy
TLDR
A critical review of the results of molecular-genetic studies of intestinal aganglionosis carried out from 1992 to date focuses on the possible clinical impact of the identification ofRET as a causative gene for HD.
Many faces of Hirschsprung's disease.
TLDR
It is recommended that patients, including newborns, with HSCR undergo a careful assessment by a clinician trained in dysmorphology, as the recurrence risk varies from 4 % to up to 50 % depending on whether it is non-syndromic or part of a specific syndrome.
Total colonic aganglionosis and Hirschsprung’s disease: a review
  • S. Moore
  • Medicine
    Pediatric Surgery International
  • 2014
TLDR
This study reviews what isknown about the clinical, radiological and histopathologic differences between TCA and the more frequently encountered recto-sigmoid and correlates them with what is currently known about the genetic and molecular biologic background to find possible pathogenetic mechanisms.
Total colonic aganglionosis in Hirschsprung disease.
  • S. Moore
  • Medicine
    Seminars in pediatric surgery
  • 2012
TLDR
Clinically, TCA appears to represent a different spectrum of disease in terms of presentation and difficulties that may be experienced in diagnosis, suggesting a different pathophysiology from the more common forms of HSCR.
Genetic basis of Hirschsprung’s disease
TLDR
This review will focus on the genes known to be involved in HSCR pathology, how they interact, and on how technology advances are being employed to uncover the pathological processes underlying this disease.
Molecular-genetic analysis of Hirschsprung's disease in South Africa
TLDR
It is demonstrated that all the potential disease-related mutations identified in South African patients with sporadic HSCR occur in the RET gene.
