Neural tube defects

Trends in Neurosciences, 1993
Neural tube defects (NTDs) are congenital malformations of the central nervous system and axial skeleton that range from the fatal to the asymptomatic. NTDs can be classified according to the embryonic event that is disturbed, and can result from a variety of genetic defects and environmental influences. Understanding the genetic and embryonic basis of
