Background: Multiparameter DNA flow cytometry using a one-laser bench-top flow cytometer has been restricted to three different colors. The two laser FACSCalibur has recently been introduced, allowing four-color analysis. Therefore, we optimized and extended our three-color method (Corver et al., 19
The purpose of this study is to determine whether couples receiving genetic counselling because of a child with a neural tube defect (NTD) are a selected group and therefore not representative of the general population with respect to sib risks for NTDs. British Columbia (B.C.) provides an excellent
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
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Neural tube defects (NTDs) often result in fetal death or elective termination; therefore, not all cases are captured in typical hospitalβbased surveillance. We examined sociodemographic differences among pregnancy outcomes to assess sources of bias in NTD surveillance an
