Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Spina bifida (SB), a common neural tube defects (NTDs), has a complex genetic architecture that remains incompletely understood. Although prior studies have identified rare, deleterious single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in SB, broader contributions to risk remain unclear. Here, we investigated shared genetic risk among 256 SB probands compared with 395 ancestry-matched controls using an unbiased...
