Gene mutation in dogs offers clues for neural tube defects in humans

A gene related to neural tube defects in dogs has for the first time been identified by researchers at the University of California, Davis, and University of Iowa. The gene may be an important risk factor for human neural tube defects, including anencephaly and spina bifida.
