Neural Tube Defects: A case report

Journal of College of Medical Sciences-Nepal, 2018
Neural tube defect is rare congenital defect of fetus. I have a case of 13 weeks period of gestation with meningomeyelocele came for termination of pregnancy. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasonography.

Dishevelled genes mediate a conserved mammalian PCP pathway to regulate convergent extension during neurulation [PDF]

, 2006
The planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway is conserved throughout evolution, but it mediates distinct developmental processes. In Drosophila, members of the PCP pathway localize in a polarized fashion to specify the cellular polarity within the plane of the

Novel mouse model of encephalocele: post-neurulation origin and relationship to open neural tube defects

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2019
Encephalocele is a clinically important birth defect that can lead to severe disability in childhood and beyond. The embryonic and early fetal pathogenesis of encephalocele is poorly understood and, although usually classified as a ‘neural tube defect ...

Nucleotide precursors prevent folic acid-resistant neural tube defects in the mouse [PDF]

, 2013
Closure of the neural tube during embryogenesis is a crucial step in development of the central nervous system. Failure of this process results in neural tube defects, including spina bifida and anencephaly, which are among the most common birth defects ...

Associations of prenatally detected choroid plexus cysts with biochemical risk for congenital disorders

Studia Medyczne, 2014
Introduction: C horoid plexus cysts are one of the foetus ultrasonography findings that raise parents’ concerns about their child’s health. Usually cysts are found in an estimated 1% all performed ultrasonographies.

Spina bifida-predisposing heterozygous mutations in Planar Cell Polarity genes and Zic2 reduce bone mass in young mice [PDF]

, 2018
Fractures are a common comorbidity in children with the neural tube defect (NTD) spina bifida. Mutations in the Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway contribute to NTDs in humans and mice, but whether this pathway independently determines bone mass is ...

Replication and exploratory analysis of 24 candidate risk polymorphisms for neural tube defects. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundNeural tube defects (NTDs), which are among the most common congenital malformations, are influenced by environmental and genetic factors. Low maternal folate is the strongest known contributing factor, making variants in genes in the folate ...

Exploratory spatial data analysis for the identification of risk factors to birth defects

BMC Public Health, 2004
Background Birth defects, which are the major cause of infant mortality and a leading cause of disability, refer to "Any anomaly, functional or structural, that presents in infancy or later in life and is caused by events preceding birth, whether ...
