Genetic landmarks for defects in mouse neural tube closure.

Teratology - 1 Sept 1997

Abstract excerpt

Many mutations cause neural tube closure defects (NTDs, exencephaly or spina bifida) in mice and the gene loci are widely distributed in the mouse genome. This compilation summarizes the map position of 40 mouse NTD mutations and the corresponding human linkage homology of each. It includes the n...
