The underlying causes for congenital diaphragmatic hernia are still to be determined, but there have been studies to show a high rate of incidence in occurrence with certain exposures. These include genetic factors and teratogenic exposures such as allopurinol, lithium and mycophenolate mofetil. Genetic Factors can further be sub-divided into aneuploidies, chromosomal anomalies and syndromes. Aneuploidies include Trisomy 13, Trisomy 18, Trisomy 21, and Turner syndrome. Chromosomal anomalies include Pallister-Killian syndrome, Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome and various other gene deletion syndromes. Associated syndromes include Donnai-Barrow syndrome, LTBP4-related cutis laxa, Cardiac-urogenital syndrome and Tonne-Kalscheuer syndrome.
