Identification and validation of candidate risk genes in endocytic vesicular trafficking associated with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistulas

Study to identify the genetic contributions to OA/TOF (EA/TEF) performing whole genome sequencing of 185 trios (probands and parents) with OA/TOF (EA/TEF), including 59 isolated and 126 complex cases with additional congenital anomalies and/or neurodevelopmental disorders. 

Results implicate disruption of endosome-mediated epithelial remodeling as a potential mechanism of foregut developmental defects.
