Mutations in the Motile Cilia Gene DNAAF1 Are Associated with Neural Tube Defects in Humans

Neural tube defects (NTDs) are severe malformations of the central nervous system caused by complex genetic and environmental factors. Among genes involved in NTD, cilia-related genes have been well defined and found to be essential for the completion of neural tube closure (NTC). We have carried ou...
