Zinc finger protein, FOG2 family member 2 (ZFPM2) (previously named FOG2) gene defects result in the highly morbid congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in humans and animal models. In a cohort of 275 CDH patient exomes, we estimated the prevalence of damaging ZFPM2 mutations to be almost 5%. Genetic analysis of a multigenerational family identified a heritable intragenic ZFPM2 deletion with an estimated penetrance of 37.5%, which has important implications for genetic counseling. Similarly, a l ...[more]
