Abstract
Although most neural tube defects (anencephaly, spina bifida) occur as isolated malformations, a substantial proportion are attributable to chromosome anomalies, known teratogens, or component manifestations of multiple anomaly syndromes. This review describes known chromosome alterations and the candidate genes residing in the altered region, as well as syndromes associated with neural tube defects and causative genes, if known.
