We have recently proposed that the "distal esophagus" in esophageal atresia with tracheo-esophageal fistula (EA/TEF) is actually embryologically derived from the middle branch of a trifurcation of the embryonic lung bud, which subsequently grows caudally in the foregut to connect with the developing stomach. We hypothesized that differential mRNA expression of the lung-specific patterning transcription factor, thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1), in the developing fistula tract in TEF relative to the bronchi (the other branches of the lung bud trifurcation) might explain the unique nonbranching pattern of growth of the fistula tract.
