## BACKGROUND: The etiology of neural tube defects (NTDs) is multifactorial, with environmental and genetic determinants. Folate supplementation prevents the majority of NTDs, and a polymorphism in methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) has become recognized as a genetic risk factor. The mech
## Abstract **BACKGROUND**: The SELH/Bc mouse strain has a high risk of the NTD, exencephaly, caused by multifactorial genetics. All SELH/Bc embryos have delayed elevation of neural folds; some never elevate (future exencephalics). Maternal diets affect SELH/Bc exencephaly rates: 25โ35% on Purina D
