Mutations of the genes involved in the receptor tyrosine kinase RET (REarranged during Transfection) (RET)-glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and/or endothelin 3 (EDN3)-endothelin receptor-B (EDNRB) signaling pathway have been found in some of HSCR patients.

Four different genes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Hirschsprung disease: the RET tyrosine kinase receptor gene; one of its ligands, the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) gene; the endothelin receptor B (EDNRB) gene; and its ligand, endothelin-3 (EDN3).

The findings suggest that both RET and NTRK3 mutations acting together are necessary and sufficient for the appearance of the disease, and that the EDN3 mutation is acting as a phenotype-modifier factor in the context of this family, as two different HSCR phenotypes are seen among the affected members: a short segment form, and a total colonic aganglionosis.
