Genetic study of Hirschsprung disease and family members
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at genes in people with Hirschsprung disease and in their first-degree relatives (parents, siblings, and children). It may help researchers understand why Hirschsprung disease happens and how it can vary between families.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or the person) have been diagnosed with Hirschsprung disease
- You may qualify if you are a first-degree relative (parent, sibling, or child) of someone with Hirschsprung disease
- You must be willing to provide a sample for genetic testing
- You (or your parent/guardian) must understand the study and agree to consent

This trial collects leftover intestine tissue from children having bowel surgery to help develop future treatments using a child's own cells. It aims to find better ways to repair the bowel without needing donor tissue.
This study keeps a research record of people who have Hirschsprung disease and have had surgery. It helps doctors better understand long-term outcomes and care needs for future patients.
This study looks at long-term health and development outcomes in children who were diagnosed and treated for Hirschsprung’s disease or anorectal malformations. It uses both numbers and interviews to understand what happens over time after treatment, helping families and clinicians plan better care.
This study looks at whether physical therapy (exercises) can help children who have had surgery for Hirschsprung's disease feel better and have fewer bowel problems. Your child may take part if they have had the surgery and are coming for regular check-ups.
This study looks at a simple stool (poop) test that may help spot inflammation in babies and children with Hirschsprung disease. It could lead to earlier detection of a serious complication called enterocolitis, helping doctors act faster.
This study looks at bladder and sexual symptoms in people who had surgery for Hirschsprung disease, a condition affecting the bowel. It aims to understand long-term effects on urinary and sexual health to improve follow-up care.
