## Abstract **BACKGROUND:**__PAX3__ plays an important role in mammalian embryonic development. Known mutations in __PAX3__ are etiologically associated with Waardenburg syndrome and syndromic neural tube defects (NTDs). Mutations in the murine homologue, __pax3__, are responsible for the phenotype

## Abstract Spina bifida myelomeningocele (SBM) is a specific type of neural tube defect whereby the open neural tube at the level of the spinal cord alters brain development during early stages of gestation. Some structural anomalies are virtually unique to individuals with SBM, including a comple

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** CYP26A1, together with CYP26B1 and CYP26C1, are key enzymes of all‐__trans__ retinoic acid (RA) inactivation and their specific and restricted expression in developing embryos participate in the fine tuning RA levels. As RA is a critical regulator of gene expression duri
