Discovery of gene mutation in dogs offers clues for neural tube defects in humans
Tuesday, 07.23.2013, 11:00am
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 researchers also found evidence that the gene may be an important risk factor for human neural tube defects, which affect more than 300,000 babies born each year around the world, according to the U.S...
