Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is a birth defect that occurs when the diaphragm does not fully form, allowing organs to enter the chest cavity preventing lung growth. CDH strikes 1 in every 2500 babies - 1600 babies each year in the U.S. alone. 50% of these babies do not survive. The cause is not known. It is CHERUBS quest to help lead the way in CDH research to find the cause, prevention and best treatment for these babies. Click on the graphic above for more information.
