Description
This panel is NO LONGER ACTIVELY MAINTAINED.

Please use with caution, as the gene list has not been recently updated. Reviews added to this panel are no longer a priority for curation and may not be followed up.

Please consider using an NHS Genomic Medicine Service (GMS) panel instead. The full list of GMS panels can be found here: https://nhsgms-panelapp.genomicsengland.co.uk/panels, with links back to PanelApp should you wish to leave a review on the panel.

Familial Hirschsprung Disease Eligibility Statement:

Familial Hirschsprung Disease inclusion criteria
Diagnosis of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) as proven with histology AND ONE OR MORE OF
1. Family history of HSCR, at least 2 affected first or second degree members, OR
2. Parental consanguinity, OR
3. HSCR occurring as part of a syndrome or with other anomalies

Familial Hirschsprung Disease exclusion criteria

Prior genetic testing guidance
- Results should have been reviewed for all genetic tests undertaken, including disease-relevant genes in exome sequencing data. The patient is not eligible if they have a molecular diagnosis for their condition. 
- Genetic testing should continue according to routine local practice for this phenotype regardless of recruitment to the project; results of these tests must be submitted via the ‘Genetic investigations’ section of the data capture tool to allow comparison of WGS with current standard testing.  

PLEASE NOTE: The sensitivity of WGS compared to current diagnostic genetic testing has not yet been established. It is therefore important that tests which are clinically indicated under local standard practice continue to be carried out.

Familial Hirschsprung Disease prior genetic testing genes
Testing of the following genes should be carried out PRIOR TO RECRUITMENT where this is in line with current local practice: 
RET and other tests as relevant if additional features are present e.g. microarray, ZEB2 (Mowat-Wilson syndrome).

Closing statement
These requirements will be kept under continual review during the main programme and may be subject to change.

Major version comments

  • 18th October 2017: Revised and approved to Version 1.0 after expert and curator review. An expert list from Mr. Simon Kenny and Professor Robert Hofstra's groups (Alder Hey - Erasmus MC) formed the basis of the original panel. The expert list was then expanded based on a review of literature. Many of the literature genes remain red on the V1.0 panel as they were identified through association studies and/or they represent susceptibility/risk factors for Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR). Sumita Chhabra (Alder Hey) and Erwin Brosens (Erasmus) provided extensive feedback for genes on the panel, together with reviews from Merce Garcia-Barcelo.
