Abstract excerpt
Neural tube defects (NTDs) are considered to be a complex genetic disorder, although the identity of the genetic factors remains largely unknown. Mouse model studies suggest a multifactorial oligogenic pattern of inheritance for NTDs, yet evidence from published human studies is surprisingly absent. In the present study, targeted next-generation sequencing was performed to screen for DNA variants in the entire...
