Detection of copy number variants reveals association of cilia genes with neural tube defects.

BACKGROUND: Neural tube defects (NTDs) are one of the most common birth defects caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Currently, little is known about the genetic basis of NTDs although up to 70% of human NTDs were reported to be attributed to genetic factors. Here we perform...
