Abstract
Hirschsprung’s Disease (HD) is a genetic condition found in a child born without ganglion cells in part of the intestines. Ganglion cells send signals to intestinal muscles to contract to help pass bowel movements. No signal means no bowel movement, which results in babies not eating, becoming uncomfortable and sleepy, spitting up, and if not treated, eventually dying. [First paragraph.]
