We reviewed the genetic variants and strains of mice that are used as models for neural tube defects (NTD) in humans. Over 40 genetic defects in mice cause obvious risk of NTD, but most are syndromic and many are lethal to embryos. Only a subset is similar to the common, nonsyndromic, genetically co

Folic acid prevents up to 70% of human neural tube defects (NTD), offering the possibility of effective primary prevention for these crippling birth defects. Recent studies with mouse models of NTD aimed to shed light on two unsolved problems of NTD prevention: 1) the mechanism of action of folic ac

Neural tube defects (NTD) remain a major cause of morbidity in spite of the reduction in liveborn incidence with periconceptional folic acid. However, the etiology remains unknown.

Neural tube defects (NTDs) are some of the most common human malformations. The vast majority of NTDs can be prevented by the administration of folic acid; however, to date there has been no effective treatment of folic acid-resistant NTDs. A recent paper 1 has confirmed an earlier report 2 that the

Thirty years ago, researchers suggested that maternal intake of certain vitamins during pregnancy affected the incidence of serious birth defects. Since then, two randomized controlled trials and several observational studies have proven that if women take folic acid during the periconceptional peri
