Neuregulins (NRGs) comprise a large family of growth factors that stimulate ERBB receptor
tyrosine kinases. NRGs and their receptors, ERBBs, have been identified as susceptibility …

Some individuals with a particular disease-causing mutation or genotype fail to express
most if not all features of the disease in question, a phenomenon that is known as 'reduced …

Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have identified a large number of SNPs
associated with disease phenotypes. As most GWA studies have been performed in …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) provides the intrinsic innervation of the bowel and is the
most neurochemically diverse branch of the peripheral nervous system, consisting of two …

Background Hirschsprung's disease, or congenital aganglionosis, is a developmental
disorder of the enteric nervous system and is the most common cause of intestinal …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a rich network of neurons and glial cells that comprise
the gastrointestinal tract's intrinsic nervous system and are responsible for controlling …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) arises from neural crest-derived cells that migrate into
and along the gut, leading to the formation of a complex network of neurons and glial cells …

To search for sequence variants conferring risk of nonmedullary thyroid cancer, we focused
our analysis on 22 SNPs with a P< 5× 10− 8 in a genome-wide association study on levels …

The enteric nervous system (ENS), the intrinsic innervation of the gastrointestinal tract, is an
essential component of the gut neuromusculature and controls many aspects of gut function …

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is innervated by intrinsic enteric neurons and by extrinsic
efferent and afferent nerves. The enteric (intrinsic) nervous system (ENS) in most regions of …
