Association between fetal brain diffusion-weighted imaging and postnatal neurodevelopmental outcome after prenatal myelomeningocele repair. [PDF]
Ultrasound Obstet GynecolABSTRACT Objective Myelomeningocele (MMC) is associated with significant alterations of the brain microstructure, which can impair long‐term neurodevelopmental outcomes. By measuring the random displacement of water molecules within the brain, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐based diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) can provide objective metrics, such as

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
