Molecular and biochemical basis <strong>of</strong> disease<br />

HOXB9 involved in the embryonic development <strong>of</strong> members and CO-<br />

L1A1 implied in the constitution <strong>of</strong> cartilaginous tissue . TagSNPs were<br />

selected using Haploview and Tagger s<strong>of</strong>twares (r²=0 .8, MAF=0 .05)<br />

and genotyped using SNaPshot method (HOXB9: n=3 and COL1A1:<br />

n=12) . All SNPs were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium . Associations<br />

were tested using logistic regression analysis . Our cohort included 239<br />

CDH patients and controls and CDH affected 91 .2% <strong>of</strong> women and was<br />

bilateral in 60.8% <strong>of</strong> cases. Breech presentation was significantly associated<br />

with CDH (OR=10 .10 [2 .96-34 .46], p
