Four separate initiation sites for neural tube (NT) fusion have been demonstrated recently in
mice and other experimental animals. We evaluated the question of whether the mult‐site …

While neural tube defects (NTD) overall have a female sex bias, this does not apply to all
sites along the neuraxis. The findings regarding sex and NTD in a series of midtrimester …

We previously reported that among neural tube defects (NTDs) with no known causes the
ones that occur alone (singles) have different epidemiologic characteristics from those that …

Congenital defects of neural tube closure (neural tube defects; NTDs) are among the
commonest and most severe disorders of the fetus and newborn. Disturbance of any of the …

Neural tube defects (NTDs)—malformations secondary to abnormal neural tube closure
between the third and fourth weeks of gestational age—have a complex and imperfectly …

The human neural tube defects (NTD), anencephaly, spina bifida and craniorachischisis,
originate from a failure of the embryonic neural tube to close. Human NTD are relatively …

Objective. Anterior neural tube closure in humans is thought to occur via a continuous
process, culminating in the closure of the anterior neuropore. Recent studies have …

Isolated neural tube defects (NTDs) appear to have different risk factors compared to
nonisolated NTDs. To extend those observations, we explored routinely collected child and …

BACKGROUND: The number of mouse mutants and strains with neural tube closure defects
(NTDs) now exceeds 190, including 155 involving known genes, 33 with unidentified genes …

The epidemiological investigation of the common open neural tube defects (NTDs),
anencephaly, and spina bifida, has a long history. The most significant finding from these …
