Analysis of variants of Dnmbp, a Putative Modifier of Cecr2 and Neural Tube Defect Susceptibility Gene
DownloadSpring 2017
One of the most common groups of birth defects are neural tube defects (NTDs), affecting about 1 out of 1000 established pregnancies. NTDs arise during neurulation in vertebrates, preventing proper formation of the brain and/or spina cord. NTDs are characterized by an unfused neural tube, which...

Neurulation, the early developmental process that forms the rudiment of the brain and spinal cord, relies upon the intricate interplay of hundreds of genes in multiple genetic pathways within the appropriate environmental conditions. Neural tube defects (NTDs), common congenital birth defects in...

Early mammalian development cannot progress without targeted temporal and spatial expression of genes. Changing the accessibility of DNA to transcriptional machinery is one critical way gene expression is controlled. This process, known as chromatin remodeling, is vital for formation of the...
