Duodenal obstruction occurs in 1 of 6000 live births and requires urgent surgical intervention. Duodenal atresia previously has been ascribed to a developmental failure of luminal recanalization; however, the cause of duodenal atresia remains incompletely understood. Although familial intestinal atresias have been described and syndromic associations are known, no specific genetic link has been established. Fibroblast growth factor-10 (Fgf10) is a known regulatory molecule relevant to mesenchymal-epithelial interactions, and mice deficient in Fgf10 demonstrate congenital anomalies in several organ systems including the gastrointestinal tract. The authors hypothesized that Fgf10 could serve a regulatory role in establishing normal duodenal development.
