These findings, together with the detection of sequence variants in PROKR1, PROK1 and PROKR2 genes associated to HSCR and, in some cases in combination with RET or GDNF mutations, provide the first evidence to consider them as susceptibility genes for HSCR.

Since genomic rearrangements in particularly sensitive areas of the RET protooncogene and/or associated genes may account for the CCHS/HSCR phenotype in patients without other detectable RET variants, the aim of the present study was to identify rearrangements in the coding sequence of RET as well as in three HSCR-associated genes (ZEB2, EDN3 and GDNF) in CCHS/HSCR patients by using Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA).
