Genetic models of mammalian neural tube defects.

Abstract excerpt

Several mouse mutations disturb the embryonic process of neurulation, yielding neural tube defects. Analysis of the mutations offers the most feasible approach to understanding the aetiology and pathogenesis of human neural tube defects. Interactions between the non-allelic mutant genes and between several of the mutant genes and modifying genes in the genetic background modulate the frequency and severity of the...
