The murine mutant Splotch (Sp) is a well-established model for studying neural tube closure defects. In the current investigation, the progression through neural tube closure (NTC) as well as the expression patterns of 12 developmentally regulated genes were examined in the neural tissue of wildtype
## BACKGROUND: Valproic acid (VPA) causes the failure of neural tube closure in newborn mice. However, the molecular mechanism of its teratogenesis is unknown. This study was conducted to investigate the genomewide effects of VPA disruption of normal neural tube development in mice. METHODS: Micro
Neural tube defects (NTDs), although prevalent and easily diagnosed, are etiologically heterogeneous, rendering mechanistic interpretation problematic. To date, there is evidence that mammalian neural tube closure (NTC) initiates and fuses intermittently at four discrete locations. Disruption of thi
Exogenous retinoic acid is teratogenic in animals and man, causing a spectrum of abnormalities termed retinoic acid embryopathy. Using a mouse model of retinoic acid embryopathy, our results show that exposure to all-trans retinoic acid (RA) on gestational day (gd) 9 results in thymic ectopia, hypop
