Update on the Role of the Non-Canonical Wnt/Planar Cell Polarity Pathway in Neural Tube Defects

Abstract excerpt

Neural tube defects (NTDs), including spina bifida and anencephaly, represent the most severe and common malformations of the central nervous system affecting 0.7-3 per 1000 live births. They result from the failure of neural tube closure during the first few weeks of pregnancy. They have a complex etiology that implicate a large number of genetic and environmental factors that remain largely undetermined....
