Further evidence for a maternal genetic effect and a sex‐influenced effect contributing to risk for human neural tube defects

1 Oct 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Neural tube defects (NTDs), including spina bifida and anencephaly, are the second most common birth defect with an incidence of 1/1000. Genetic factors are believed to contribute to NTD risk and family-based studies can be useful for identifying such risk factors. METHODS: We ascertained 1066 NTD families (1467 affected patients), including 307 multiplex NTD families. We performed pedigree analysis...
