Scientists hunt for hidden genes behind rare birth defect
NCT ID NCT02175264
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at the DNA of 73 children with a rare birth defect called isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), where a hole in the diaphragm allows organs to move into the chest. Researchers wanted to find new genetic changes that might cause the condition. They used advanced gene sequencing to search for mutations in families with one affected child. The goal was to identify genes responsible for CDH and understand how often these genes appear in other patients.
