Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Neural tube defects (NTDs) are congenital malformations arising when the neural tube (NT), precursor of the brain and spine, fails to properly close during neurulation. Etiology is multifactorial, with environmental and genetic factors variably contributing on a case-by-case basis. Molecular genetic studies of murine NTD genes have been precious in the identification of predisposing NTD...
