Epidemiologic and genetic aspects of spina bifida and other neural tube defects.

Developmental disabilities research reviews - 1 Jan 2010

Au Kit Sing, Ashley-Koch Allison, Northrup Hope

Abstract excerpt

The worldwide incidence of neural tube defects (NTDs) ranges from 1.0 to 10.0 per 1,000 births with almost equal frequencies between two major categories: anencephaly and spina bifida (SB). Epidemiological studies have provided valuable insight for (a) researchers to identify nongenetic and genetic factors contributing to etiology, (b) public health officials to design and implement policies to prevent NTD...
