We review the data from studies of mouse mutants that lend insight to the mechanisms that lead to neural tube defects (NTDs). Most of the 50 single-gene mutations that cause neural tube defects (NTDs) in mice also cause severe embryonic-lethal syndromes, in which exencephaly is a nonspecific feature

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Folate is an important B vitamin that is transported into cells by way of folate‐binding proteins and transporters. Folate‐binding protein‐2 nullizygous (Folbp2^−/−^) mice develop normally; however, we have found them to be more susceptible to the teratogenic effects of a

## 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

Valproate (VPA) has been shown to induce neural tube defects (NTDs) in humans and mice, but the mechanism of action has not been elucidated. Folate supplementation has been reported to prevent the defect. It was the aim of our experiment to reveal effects of VPA and of folate coadministration on ami

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
