Description : Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) refers to a group of congenital defects in the
structural integrity of the diaphragm which are often associated with lethal pulmonary
hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension. Prevalence in newborns ranges from 1 in 2,500
to 1 in 4,000, and there is a 30 to 60% mortality rate (Langham et al., 1996; Harrison
et al., 1994; Nobuhara et al., 1996). Most cases of congenital diaphragmatic hernia
are sporadic. - Genetic Heterogeneity of Diaphragmatic Hernia One form of congenital
diaphragmatic hernia, DIH1, has been mapped to chromosome 15q26, and another, DIH2
(222400), to chromosome 8p23.1. See also DIH3 (610187), which is associated with mutation
in the ZFPM2 gene (603693). There is evidence for further genetic heterogeneity. Also
see 306950 for a possible X-linked form. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia can also
present with other congenital anomalies. Fryns syndrome (229850) may be the most common
autosomal recessive syndrome with DIH as a cardinal feature (Slavotinek et al., 2005).
See Holder et al. (2007) for a review of genetic factors in congenital diaphragmatic
hernia. Pober (2008) reviewed genetic aspects of congenital diaphragmatic hernia,
with emphasis on various syndromes in which CDH occurs along with other manifestations.;
