Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the genetic factors, prevalence, and outcomes of patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) combined with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P).
- Findings reveal that CDH patients have a low prevalence of CL/P (0.7%) and those with both conditions experience worse health outcomes, including higher mortality rates and longer hospital stays.
- Genetic abnormalities linked to CDH+CL/P include trisomy 13 and deletions in specific chromosomal regions, highlighting the complex interplay between these congenital defects.
