Overview
The most potent risk factor for Hirschsprung's disease is a strong family history (multiple family members afflicted). Other risk factors include a family history of long segment disease and male gender.
Risk factors
The most potent risk factors for developing Hirschsprung's disease include:
- Having multiple family members affected by the disease[1]
- Family history of the long segment variant of the disease
- Male gender[2]
