This review describes recent advances using animal models in the analysis of the molecular controls of gastrointestinal development, with specific attention to mutations causing maldevelopment similar to those seen in human gut malformations. By focusing on specific human gut pathologic conditions and maldevelopment, we describe the probable roles of signaling pathways, including the hedgehog pathway, the bone morphogenic protein pathway, and the role of the homeotic genes.
