The HLA-A and B phenotypes of 42 Greek children with CDH were determined and compared to those of 400 controls. A significant deviation of the frequency of the antigen HLA-A1, (Pc less than 0.003) was noted. It is suggested that immunogenetic factors are contributing to the development of the disease.
