Name Time Method <p>To identify the existence of genetic mutations that play a role in the<br /><br>development en severity of Hirschsprung*s disease. </p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>To identify if genetic mosaicism exists and if this mosaicism contributes to<br /><br>the development of Hirschsprung*s disease. And to identify if the found genetic<br /><br>mutations can be linked to the type of Hirschsprung*s disease and the chance to<br /><br>develop post-operative enterocolitis.</p><br>
