DOI: 10.1002/bdr2.1656
Abstract: BACKGROUND Neural tube defects (NTD)s are common birth defects with a multifactorial etiology. Findings from human studies examining environmental (non-inherited) exposures tend to be inconclusive. In particular, although animal studies of alcohol exposure and NTDs… read more here.
