HSCR tissue specimens (n = 6) were collected at the time of pull-through surgery, while control samples were obtained at the time of colostomy closure in patients with imperforate anus (n = 6). qRT-PCR analysis was undertaken to quantify KCNG3 and KCNG4 gene expression, and immunolabelling of KCNG3 and KCNG4 proteins was visualized using confocal microscopy.

HSCR tissue specimens (n = 10) were collected at the time of pull-through surgery and control samples were obtained at the time of colostomy closure in patients with imperforate anus (n = 10). qRT-PCR analysis was undertaken to quantify Cav-1 gene expression, and Western blot analysis was undertaken to determine Cav-1 protein quantification.

Here we describe a fetus with an unclassified severe ciliopathy phenotype including short ribs, polydactyly, bilateral renal agenesis, and imperforate anus, with compound heterozygosity for c.118_125del, p.(Thr40Glyfs*11) and a c.352 +1G > T in IFT27, which encodes a small GTPase component of the IFT-B complex.
A recently published article showed that deletion of one single gene, dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor-1 (Dkk1), resulted in an imperforate anus with rectourinary fistula and preputial hypospadias in mice.
