Scientists hunt for genetic clues behind rare infant condition

NCT ID NCT02175264

Summary

This study aimed to find the genetic causes of a specific type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), a birth defect where there is a hole in the diaphragm muscle. Researchers analyzed the DNA of 73 children with this condition and their parents to look for new genetic changes. The goal was to understand why this defect occurs, not to provide a treatment.
