Crooked Tail(Cd) Models Human Folate-Responsive Neural Tube Defects
1 Nov 1999
Abstract excerpt
Genetic correlation of human neural tube defects (NTDs) with NTD genes identified in mouse may unravel predisposing complex traits for assessment of individual risk and treatment in clinical settings. Folic acid (FA) can reduce the recurrence of NTDs in human populations by as much as 50-70%, though the mechanism of this rescue is unknown. We examined whether Crooked tail ( Cd ), a mouse strain prone to...
