BACKGROUND: Periconceptional intake of nutrients in addition to folic acid may contribute to neural tube defect (NTD) etiologies; a likely candidate is myo-inositol. We investigated whether maternal periconceptional dietary intake of myo-inositol influenced NTD risk. METHODS: Data were derived from

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: This study investigated the association of neural tube defects (NTDs) with maternal periconceptional intake of folic acidβcontaining supplements and dietary nutrients, including folate, among deliveries that occurred after folic acid fortification in selected California
Neural tube defects in infants of diabetic mothers constitute an important and frequent cause of neonatal mortality/morbidity and long-term chronic handicaps. The mechanism by which normal neural tube fusion occurs is not known. The failure of rostral neural tube fusion seen in mouse embryos incubat
