This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA 93.865 Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program, will support research to enable a comprehensive genetic characterization of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR), a rare developmental disorder.

The $339,000 award, effective September 10, 2024 through August 31, 2026, will fund data analyses at New York University (NYU) School of Medicine to improve detection of all variant types in coding regions and cis-regulatory elements for HSCR. The researchers will also test whether HSCR genes contribute to the risk of associated neurocristopathies to explain the wide spectrum of HSCR phenotypes. This work builds on NYU's previous whole genome sequencing of 766 unrelated HSCR cases and their family members.
