Morphological Variants and Factors Associated With Neural Tube Defects at a Regional Referral Hospital [PDF]

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Neural Tube Defects (NTDs) remain a significant public health concern, especially in low‐resource settings. This study investigated the morphological variants of NTDs and identified factors associated with their development among neonates at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH).

Exome Sequencing in Prenatally Diagnosed Isolated Neural Tube Defects: A Subtype‐Specific Analysis [PDF]

Prenatal Diagnosis, Volume 46, Issue 5-6, Page 842-848, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To explore potential genetic contributors across different subtypes of isolated neural tube defects (NTDs) ‐ acrania–exencephaly–anencephaly sequence (AEAS), spinal dysraphism, and encephalocele ‐ using exome sequencing (ES) in a prenatal cohort, with the goal of gaining insight into the molecular diversity underlying these distinct ...

Prenatal diagnosis of fetal microhydranencephaly: a case report and literature review

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2020
Background The prenatal diagnosis of microhydranencephaly is important and needs to be distinguished from anencephaly, because unlike anencephaly, fetuses with microhydranencephaly can survive after birth. Herein, we report a case of microhydranencephaly

A Shared Pathogenic Mechanism for Valproic Acid and SHROOM3 Knockout in a Brain Organoid Model of Neural Tube Defects

Cells, 2023
Neural tube defects (NTDs), including anencephaly and spina bifida, are common major malformations of fetal development resulting from incomplete closure of the neural tube. These conditions lead to either universal death (anencephaly) or severe lifelong
