The article offers information on neural tube defects (NTD). The most common types of these defects are anencephaly and spina bifi da, which are caused by failure of closure of cranial pore and spinal part of neural tube, respectively. According to the authors, population-based preventive method...
A special program YUKONS in FORTRAN for Cyber 72 CDC computer was preapred. The recurrence risk of NTD among the probands' sibs was 3.4% 卤 1.6, being about 39 times (X= 181.31 p < 0.0005) the population prevalence at birth. The heritability calculated on the regression of siblings on ...
