Neural tube defects (NTDs) are a group of malformations of the brain and spinal cord that
originate at various times during gestation. The most common NTDs are anencephaly and …

The authors examined the impact of prenatal diagnosis and elective termination of neural
tube defect (NTD)-affected pregnancies on NTD prevalence and risk estimates. Prevalence …

To verify and investigate the reported decline of neural tube defects (NTDs) in the last
decade, data from three different sources were examined: the Birth Defects Monitoring …

OBJECTIVES: This study investigated a previously reported 50% or more increased risk for
neural tube defect-affected pregnancies among Latina women compared with White women …

To determine the recurrence risk for patients with one prior pregnancy affected with neural
tube defects (NTD), the authors have pooled date from eight testing centers. In 831 …

Congenital defects of neural tube closure (neural tube defects; NTDs) are among the

Abstract Background Neural tube defects (NTDs) are a group of disorders that arise from the
failure of the neural tube close between 21 and 28 days after conception. About 90% of …

Neural tube defects (NTD), including anencephaly and spina bifida, are a group of severe
congenital abnormalities in which the future brain and/or spinal cord fail to close. In mice …

Genetic polymorphisms are thought to play an important role in determining susceptibility to
