## 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 __TXN2__ encodes human thioredoxin 2, a small redox protein important in cellular antioxidant defenses, as well as in the regulation of apoptosis. __Txn2__ knockout mice fail to complete neural tube closure by E10.5 and die in utero. We hypothesized that genetic variation in human __TXN

## Abstract ## Background __PRKACA__ and __PRKACB__ are genes encoding the cAMP‐dependent protein kinase A (PKA) catalytic subunits alpha and beta, respectively. PKA is known to be involved in embryonic development, as it downregulates the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway, which is critical to norm
