Neural tube defects are a complex, heterogeneous, and multifactorial group of disorders. In humans it is estimated that 80% of neural tube defects are ''multifactorial'' and are influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. It appears that 70% of neural tube defects in humans are related to

We review the data from studies of mouse mutants that lend insight to the mechanisms that lead to neural tube defects (NTDs). Most of the 50 single-gene mutations that cause neural tube defects (NTDs) in mice also cause severe embryonic-lethal syndromes, in which exencephaly is a nonspecific feature
