Hirschsprung disease v0.25 KIF26A Zornitza Stark Gene: kif26a has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
Hirschsprung disease v0.25 KIF26A Zornitza Stark Classified gene: KIF26A as Green List (high evidence)
Hirschsprung disease v0.25 KIF26A Zornitza Stark Gene: kif26a has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
Hirschsprung disease v0.24 KIF26A Belinda Chong changed review comment from: Two unrelated families each segregating a different homozygous truncating variant in KIF26A with a unique constellation of severe megacolon that resembles Hirschsprung’s disease but lacks aganglionosis as well as brain malformations that range from severe to mild. The intestinal phenotype bears a striking resemblance to that observed in Kif26a−/− mice where KIF26A deficiency was found to cause abnormal GDNF-Ret signaling resulting in failure to establish normal neuronal networks despite myenteric neuronal hyperplasia.
Sources: Literature; to: Five individuals from two families each with a different homozygous truncating variant in KIF26A segregating with profound ENS dysfunction that manifested clinically like Hirschsprung’s disease despite normal ganglionosis. Moreover, they all have neurological involvement with brain malformations ranging from ventriculomegaly to severe congenital hydrocephalus in two siblings who died early in life. Clinically, they displayed developmental delay and, in the longest surviving individual, spastic paraplegia.
