## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Neural tube defects (NTDs) are complex embryological malformations, affecting 1 in 1,000 live births. Antisense studies have implicated murine __Mab21__ genes as having an important role in neural tube development. We investigated whether __MAB21L1__/__L2__ genes could be
## Abstract In this paper, we trace the history of current research into the genetic and biochemical mechanisms that underlie folate‐preventable neural tube defects (NTDs). The inspired suggestion by Smithells that common vitamins might prevent NTDs ignited a decade of biochemical investigations—fi
The association of neural tube defects (NTDs) with Down syndrome (trisomy 21) and altered folate metabolism in both mother and affected offspring provide a unique opportunity for insight into the etiologic role of folate deficiency in these congenital anomalies. We describe here the case of a male c
