Decreased Expression of GATA4 in the Diaphragm of Nitrofen‐Induced Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

CONCLUSIONSWe provide evidence for the first time that diaphragmatic expression of GATA4 is downregulated in the nitrofen model, suggesting that decreased expression of GATA4 may impair diaphragmatic development in nitrofen‐induced CDH.
