Congenital cardiac anomalies in myelomeningocele patients [PDF]

Acta Medica Academica, 2014
Objective. Myelomeningocele may be isolated but more frequently is associated with other anomalies. Congenital heart disease occurs with different incidence rate in myelomeningocele which is observed more frequently with skeletal malformations.

Burden of rare deleterious variants in WNT signaling genes among 511 myelomeningocele patients.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Genes in the noncanonical WNT signaling pathway controlling planar cell polarity have been linked to the neural tube defect myelomeningocele. We hypothesized that some genes in the WNT signaling network have a higher mutational burden in myelomeningocele
