OBJECTIVES: The aim was to assess the neuroglial compartment in the myenteric plexus of two subjects with genetically verified Waardenburg syndrome (WS) type 4 (WS4) and to compare the outcome with four "age-matched" controls.
DESIGN: Gut samples from four control cases and from two newborn subjects with WS4, one with peripheral demyelinating neuropathy, dysmyelinating leukodystrophy, WS and Hirschprung disease (PCWH) (SOX10, c.769A>T, p.Lys257*) and one with Waardenburg-Shah syndrome (WSS) (EDN3, c.472C>T,p.Arg158Cys)-were assessed histologically and immunohistochemically. Antibodies directed to glial cells (SOX10), ganglion cells (HuC/D), and interstitial cells of Cajal (CD117) were applied.
RESULTS: For the child with PCWH syndrome, both the small and large intestine showed a reduction in the number of glial cells (SOX10), in parallel with hypoganglionosis (HuC/D), when compared with "age-matched" controls. In the child with WSS, a severe reduction in the number of glial cells (SOX10) was observed in both the small and large intestine accompanied by aganglionosis (HuC/D) with a skipped segment. The number of interstitial cells of Cajal (CD117) appeared unaffected in both PCWH and WSS cases.
CONCLUSION: A severe reduction of glial cells and a severe reduction or loss of ganglion cells (the number of cells assessed per unit length), were seen in our study subjects when compared with "age-matched" controls. Contrary to the above the presence of Cajal cells was unaffected.
