Does arsenic increase the risk of neural tube defects among a highly exposed population? A new case–control study in Bangladesh

1 Nov 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Neural tube defects are debilitating birth defects that occur when the developing neural plate fails to close in early gestation. Arsenic induces neural tube defects in animal models, but whether environmental arsenic exposure increases risk of neural tube defects in humans is unknown. METHODS: We describe a new case-control study in Bangladesh, a country currently experiencing an epidemic of arsenic...
