Familial Hirschsprung Disease
Gene: GAP43
Comment when marking as ready: Marked GAP43 as ready: August 3rd 2017. Red review plus no direct evidence for role of GAP43 in Hirschsprung disease. Therefore remaining on the panel as red/research gene only.Created: 3 Aug 2017, 10:26 a.m.
PMID:22325380 (Saeed et al., 2012) studied differences in gene expression between normal and abnormal segments of bowel in HD patients compared with controls, to identify novel genes in Hirschsprung disease pathway.Created: 5 Jun 2017, 1:40 p.m.
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.
Mode of inheritance for GAP43 was changed to Unknown
This gene has been classified as Red List (Low Evidence).
