## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Neural tube defects (NTDs) are the second most common birth defects, after congenital heart defects. Telomerase, the reverse transcriptase that maintains telomere DNA, has been shown to be important for neural tube development and bilateral symmetry in the brain. In knock
## Abstract **BACKGROUND**: The number of mouse mutants and strains with neural tube closure defects (NTDs) now exceeds 190, including 155 involving known genes, 33 with unidentified genes, and eight βmultifactorialβ strains. **METHODS**: The emerging patterns of mouse NTDs are considered in relati
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Maternal diabetes during pregnancy is a wellβknown teratogen that increases the risk for birth defects, such as neural tube defects (NTDs). We have previously shown that maternal diabetes profoundly affects gene expression in the developing embryo, in particular a suite
