Abstract excerpt
Neural tube defects (NTD) are a common birth defect, with both genetic and environmental contributions to their etiology. In mouse, null mutations in Noggin result in fully-penetrant NTDs. We investigated Noggin for mutations that may predispose to human NTDs in 202 NTD cases. One variant allele...
