Discussion While the cause of neural tube defects in humans is considered to be
multifactorial, it is apparent that folic acid can prevent 70% of open neural tube defects. Even …

Neural tube defects (NTDs), including spina bifida and anencephaly, are severe birth
defects of the central nervous system that originate during embryonic development when the …

Neural tube defects (NTD) remain a major cause of morbidity in spite of the reduction in
