AbstractBACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Hirschsprung disease (HSCR; megacolon, congenital aganglionosis) is a congenital disorder characterized by the absence of ganglion cells along variable segments of the gut. Both rare (RV) and common variants of the RET gene are associated with HSCR. The aim of this study is to assess, for the first time, the variation in the RET gene of Vietnamese HSCR patients. METHODS: We used Sanger sequencing to screen the coding sequence of the RET gene of 97 Vietnamese HSCR patients of Southern Chinese ancestry. The healthy population consisted of 250 Southern Chinese individuals with no diagnosis of HSCR. RESULTS: We detected 8 heterozygous RVs distributed among 13 patients (13.40%) and that were not present in healthy individuals. Among those variants, there were 2 novel and deleterious (R133C [c.397 C>T]; R144C [c.430 C>T]) missense amino acid substitutions, 2 novel silent variants (P667P [c.2001 A>T]; Y809Y [c.2427 C>T]), and 4 previously described missense substitutions (R114H [c.341 G>A]; V292M [c.874 G>A]; G533S [c.1597 G>A]; R982C [c.2944 C>T]). As expected, the common RET coding sequence variants rs1800858 (A45A [c.135 G>A]) and rs1800861 (L769L [c.2307 T>G]) were highly associated with the disease. CONCLUSIONS: The identification of novel deleterious variants together with the fact RET RVs are virtually unique to HSCR patients indicates that the RET gene is a target for mutations among Hirschsprung patients of any population.
