Genetic factors are crucial in the etiology and pathogenesis of CDH, with various copy number variations (CNVs) and gene sequence variants implicated in this malformation. Previous studies have underscored the importance of retinoic acid (RA) signaling pathways and related genes. Nonetheless, the complexity of diaphragmatic development involving cell migration, cytoskeleton organization, and myogenesis suggests that candidate CDH genes extend beyond the RA pathway. To explore novel candidate gene variants and their roles in CDH, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) in CDH\u2010affected fetuses.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n Following the evaluation of chromosome and array\u2010CGH analyses, 17 CDH cases with normal results in our cohort were subjected to WES. Trio\u2010WES was conducted on eight fetuses, while solo\u2010WES was applied to the remaining nine cases. The identified variants were validated and subjected to segregation analysis via Sanger sequencing.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Bioinformatic analysis revealed novel potentially pathogenic variants not only in six genes previously known to be associated with CDH (\n NR2F2<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n ZFPM2<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n ARID1A<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n CREBBP<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n PLAT<\/jats:italic>\n , and\n RARB<\/jats:italic>\n ) but also in nine additional genes (\n COL11A1, NEIL2, PCSK5<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n RBM8A, STAB2, SETD5, TAF4, ZBTB38,<\/jats:italic>\n and\n ZNF423<\/jats:italic>\n ) that, based on their functions, database entries, and literature, may be considered candidate genes for CDH.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n \n Our findings reinforce that no single gene or variant is responsible for the majority of CDH cases, and also demonstrated the effectiveness of WES in identifying\n novel<\/jats:italic>\n candidate genes and variants that contribute to CDH etiology.\n <\/jats:p>\n
